Activity details
In December 2024, the Western Australian Government announced $8.23 million over 4 years to 2027–28 to design and pilot a suite of services for children and young people impacted by family and domestic violence. The activities include 3 new Senior Counsellor roles in existing services, new therapeutic services, a statewide centralised support mechanism and child-centred risk assessment tools and practice guidance. The initiatives are informed by research and stakeholder engagement conducted by the Australian Childhood Foundation, in partnership with Karla Kuliny Aboriginal Corporation and the Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia.
