I can confirm that a copy of the submission referred to has been received by my office.
Following the Government's approval of the Third National Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence Strategy in June, my Department is working with other Government Departments, agencies and stakeholders on the implementation of the actions contained in the Strategy.
In particular, my Department has a critical role in the capital funding for new Domestic Violence Refuges. Government has agreed a list of priority locations for the development of new refuges for which my Department has made funding available and we are working with partners to have these projects delivered, with some new refuge developments already in design, planning and being prepared to start on site.
