Premium Content Domestic and sexual violence services have called for the federal government to pour more funding into the sector amid concerns Queensland is at risk of losing key support at a time when demand from vulnerable women has almost tripled in some cases. Queensland specialist services have banded together to write to the government, urging it to inject another $150 million into the sector nationwide amid increased demand during the pandemic. Domestic Violence Action Centre in Ipswich and Toowoomba (DVAC) is bracing to lose more than 195 hours each week of frontline services when the funding ends - meaning that 10 staff will either have their hours cut or lose their role.
