Establishment of the National Peak Body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Safety

Overview

The Australian Government is conducting an ad hoc grant to establish a National Peak Body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Safety from 2025 to 2026. The successful grant recipient will have the appropriate relationships and networks across the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled family, domestic and sexual violence sector to support the establishment of a new organisation. The grant contributes to the achievement of Program 2.1 Families and Communities within Outcome 2: Families and Communities of the Department of Social Services Portfolio Budget Statement. Once established, the National Peak Body will provide governance across the sector at a national level playing a vital role in leading and coordinating national efforts to ensure the safety and wellbeing of First Nations peoples, families and communities.
