Far South Coast organisations are being offered access to funding to help prevent domestic and family violence.
A total of $100,000 is being offered for 16 Days of Activism initiatives that prevent gender-based violence in our communities.
Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Minister Jodie Harrison said applicants can apply for up to $5000.
“Primary prevention is a key part of the NSW Government’s work to address domestic and family violence, by stopping violence before it starts,” she said.
“Through this new grant program, we want to encourage local organisations and communities come up with new ideas and initiatives to disrupt the drivers of gendered violence, promote healthy relationships and take action for gender equality.
“We know that local solutions are needed to change the harmful attitudes and behaviours that can contribute to a culture that tolerates violence against women.”
The grant program will close on 3 September.
