Increasing financial support for visa holders experiencing violence - Boosting the financial assistance available to temporary visa holders experiencing family and domestic violence from the current $3000 to $5000
The Albanese Labor Government is easing financial insecurity for temporary visa holders leaving a violent relationship.
We don’t want any person experiencing violence to have to choose between their safety or financial security and we know those on temporary visas can often face additional barriers to escaping family and domestic violence.
From today the Government will boost the financial assistance available to temporary visa holders experiencing family and domestic violence from the current $3000 to $5000.
The Government has committed $4.4 million over two years for the increase which is expected to assist up to 2000 people nationally.
The funding is in addition to the $38.2 million committed to extend the Temporary Visa Holders Experiencing Violence Pilot and Escaping Violence Payment trial to 31 January 2025.
