Family, Domestic Violence Programs in Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Community-Controlled Organisations

As part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Action Plan 2023–2025 (Action Plan), the Australian Government committed up to $14.023 million (GST exclusive) for up to 4 years from 2023–24 to 2026–27 to support community-controlled organisations with existing or emerging family, domestic and sexual violence programs through Commonwealth administered grants. These grant rounds will cover a range of areas such as building workforce capacity, establishing or expanding primary prevention initiatives, meeting existing demand and innovation to meet emerging issues.

Applications will only be accepted from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community-Controlled Organisations. Activities under this program will be designed, led, delivered and evaluated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to share decision-making authority with governments and contribute to building the Aboriginal Community Controlled sector.
