Australian budget to continue funding initiatives to help women and children

The 2026-27 Australian Federal Budget continues to prioritize women and children, investing over $4.4 billion in the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children. Key initiatives include $182.6 million to protect child support from abuse, $61.2 million for front-line workers, and a new $171.7 million National Children and Family Support program.

The budget emphasizes strengthening the safety net for victim-survivors of violence and increasing economic security, with $1.1 billion over four years to pay superannuation on government-funded Paid Parental Leave.
