Women and children experiencing domestic violence in central Australia will have more avenues for support following a funding boost to emergency accommodation and wrap-around services.

An additional $5.6 million has been committed as part of the federal government’s nearly $49 million community safety initiative to increase the number of emergency beds available in the region.
