Innovative Wrap-around Support in Domestic Violence Hotspots

To support the provision of legal assistance and other forms of support to women and children experiencing, or at risk of, domestic violence by providing funding for the following:

(a) the establishment of specialist domestic violence units within existing legal assistance services;

(b) the establishment of health justice partnerships, involving the placement of legal assistance providers in selected health facilities, to provide services including:

(i) legal assistance to women and children; and

(ii) training to health professionals to identify and respond to domestic violence.

This objective also has the effect it would have if it were limited to providing funding or support by engaging in measures to meet Australia's international obligations, in particular obligations under:

(a) the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (particularly Articles 2, 3, 5 and 16); or

(b) the Convention on the Rights of the Child (particularly Article 19).
