NSW government launches 10 new domestic violence refuges in regional areas, offering support services.

The New South Wales government has announced 10 new domestic violence refuges in regional areas, including Wollondilly in Sydney. Part of the Core and Cluster program, these refuges offer self-contained accommodation and access to support services like counseling and legal assistance to promote independent living. The program aims to help "victim-survivors heal," with a focus on expanding to regional and harder-to-reach areas, including culturally responsive support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
