Therapeutic interventions for victims survivors of family violence are available from providers across the state.

Background

In January 2019 the Minister approved a call for submission process to invest $21.2m for ongoing funding to establish a state-wide therapeutic platform to deliver therapeutic interventions for victim survivors of family violence. The new investment responds to client need with a focus on recovery, healing and safety through individually tailored and planned responses to client need.
