Breaking down the $4.45 million, $2.06 million has been granted to 44 organisations that provide family and domestic violence services. Meanwhile, 28 groups, which deliver legal services, will receive $2.39 million.

“This initiative will help these charities and not-for-profits increase capacity, provide better digital service delivery, and enhance remote working options,” Mr Speakman said.

“It will help future-proof their operations and enable them to remain efficient, effective and viable so they can continue their invaluable work to support domestic violence victim-survivors.

“The NSW Government is committed to helping those in need to end the scourge of domestic violence, and by ensuring these services are equipped with the right resources and capabilities, we know these grants will add long term value to services and in turn benefit those they support.”

Speaking about the funding provided by NSW government, Carrie’s Place Domestic Violence and Homelessness Services chief executive Jayne Clowes said: “Our laptops and tech were all in urgent need of being upgraded and, now, because of the necessity for working remotely, it is especially important. The grant will enable our workers to have far greater flexibility to deliver our services.”

Bonnie Support Services executive officer Tracy Phillips echoed a similar sentiment, noting the funding comes at an opportune time.

“It will enhance our digital and social media strategy and enable us to reach out so that a lot of new people will be able to access our services,” Ms Phillips said.
