Failed Rollout of 500 Community and Frontline Workers in Family Domestic Violence Sector

The Albanese Government’s election promise of employing 500 community and frontline workers in the family and domestic violence sector has failed.

There are only 63 employed across the nation – a long way behind the 352 forecast for June 30.

Still not one employed in Queensland – where a woman calls domestic violence services every four minutes.

Yet the Commonwealth is still prepared to send the money to the states and territories.

The government is not listening to the voices of the communities which marched in the streets for action. There are just more announcements and more consultation but no real action.
