Mr J. BULL (Sunbury) — (11 860) My question is for the Attorney-General. What funding opportunities are available to help support the increasing demand family violence matters place on community legal centres such as the northern community legal centre in Gladstone Park? As we know from the Royal Commission into Family Violence, an increased focus on family violence can increase the amount of reporting, which puts pressure on local services. Northern community legal centre deals with a wide range of matters, including a full range of family law services, intervention orders, civil and criminal disputes and infringement matters, but many of these also have family violence intersections.

Northern community legal centre is a fantastic place that is always looking to improve services for those affected by family violence. I again ask the Attorney-General what funding opportunities are available to support the high demand of family violence matters on the northern community legal centre.
