The Coalition has invested $150 million (US$110 million) in a range of measures to prevent domestic and sexual violence, including a $20 million fund for electronic monitoring of high-risk family violence perpetrators.

The package includes $54.6 million to keep up to 30,000 victim-survivors safe in their homes through security assessments, as well as $26.6 million for online safety initiatives. The government has also provided an additional $46 million to continue the ‘Stop it at the Start’ campaign, which aims at raising awareness of emerging issues such as tech-facilitated abuse.
