Reforms to ensure sexual assault survivors are not re-traumatised by the criminal justice system will be prioritised with a funding boost in the upcoming budget.

The federal government has announced a $14.7 million (US$9.7 million) commitment over four years to strengthen the way the system responds to sexual assault cases and prevent further harm to victims seeking justice.
