Needs-Based Funding | #16DaysOfActivism

ℹ️ The current model of federal funding for the domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) sector in Australia is based on population size 🇦🇺

For the Northern Territory, this means that it only receives 1.8% of federal DFSV funding… but DFSV in the NT is frequent, severe and occurs at a much higher rate than any other state, with these rates of violence amongst the highest in the world ⚠️

🆘 On top of this, the NT’s population is spread across large remote areas, which makes access to DFSV services more challenging and expensive to deliver.

📢 We are calling on the government to commit to needs-based funding rather than population based funding, to support frontline services end domestic, family, and sexual violence in the NT ✊
