Please note:
- that for harmful sexual behaviour services and services for male survivors of sexual abuse, funding for three years has been appropriated. Further advice was provided to Ministers regarding future funding for these services as part of Budget 2019.
- that within this budget a small component ($2.702m over four years) has been ring-fenced for the development, implementation and evaluation of each service type.
Fiscally neutral shift of funding
Since the release of the above information in December 2016, we carried out a fiscally neutral shift in funding to ensure there was adequate funding for implementation of the national sexual violence helpline.
