Aboriginal-led groups in Australia receive funding to support victims of family violence in three regions.

Two Aboriginal-led organizations in Australia's Hunter region have been funded to support Aboriginal victims of family violence and their children in Maitland, Cessnock, and Port Stephens. The 12-month "Safe and Strong" program offers services like counselling, family support, and playgroups, aiming to heal and prevent violence. The initiative coincides with the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence and marks a shift towards listening to Aboriginal voices in addressing family violence.
