ABC highlights funding pressures in Ballarat’s family violence response – Allied Justice calls for sustained investment

April 13, 2026
ABC News has reported growing concerns from frontline organisations about whether current funding for Ballarat’s family violence prevention response will be sufficient to meet community needs. The article highlights the state-funded Respect Ballarat “saturation model” alongside increasing reports of family violence and rising demand for support services in the region. The report shows what Allied Justice and many local services are experiencing firsthand: increased awareness is prompting more people to seek help, but systems are struggling to respond at the necessary scale. Allied Justice CEO Narelle Laing stated that the conversation needs to go beyond short-term timelines.

Together, we’ll navigate bushfire recovery.
