NSW Government is seeking applications from eligible
organisations for its COVID-19 Domestic and Family Violence Funding - Tranche 2
grant program that aims to support sexual, domestic and family violence
services to respond to the challenges posed by COVID-19.
Frontline organisations which are experiencing increased demand in
services as a result of COVID-19 can apply for a share in grant funding. The
NSW Government understands that domestic, family and sexual violence services
have had to respond to changes in service delivery, complexity or demand of
their program resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NSW Government is looking to fund:
- Organisations that demonstrate
an understanding of, and experience in working with people experiencing
sexual, domestic and/or family violence.
- Initiatives that target
communities or areas of key interest, like prevention or early
intervention.
- Initiatives that relate to NSW
Premier’s Priority to reduce domestic violence reoffending, including
working with perpetrators and/or with victim-survivors.
Grant Objectives
- Adapt service delivery, for
example by making service adjustments or modifications to respond to
changing client needs or social distancing requirements.
- Expand service delivery, for
example by increasing capacity to deliver more services to more clients.
- Introduce new services, in
accordance with demand arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
