Domestic and family violence—Room4Change program
(Question No 496)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, upon notice, on 8 October 2021:
In relation to the Safer Families Initiative, Extending the Room4Change Program, what funding can be expected to provide support for the Room4Change program for the years 2023-24 and 2024-25, given the Budget adjustment removing funding previously allocated for these years.
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
The 2021-22 Budget includes funding for Room4Change up to 2022-23. The ACT Government remains committed to effective perpetrator responses, and future Safer Families Levy funding may be used to support the extension of the Room4Change program and other perpetrator programs to improve safety for people experiencing domestic and family violence. Recurrent investment in Room4Change is contingent on the findings of an independent evaluation.
