The Minns Labor Government is continuing to invest in meaningful action to prevent domestic and family violence, today opening expressions of interest for community-led primary prevention initiatives.
Up to $4.25 million in grant funding is on offer to local organisations statewide, including regional and rural, for proposals that address the drivers of domestic, family and sexual violence in our community.
Proposals that align with the strategy will be given priority consideration, including gender-based violence prevention programs that:
- Focus on high-impact settings such as schools, workplaces and sporting clubs
- Engage men and boys in prevention initiatives
- Align with the ‘‘ framework, including related frameworks ‘Changing the Picture’, ‘Changing the Landscape’ and ‘Pride in Prevention’
- Support LGBTQIA+ communities through inclusive programming
- Support migrant and refugee communities
- Explore innovative approaches, including the use of digital spaces such as social media.
Successful projects will run over a three-year period.
Following the EOI, eligible organisations will be invited to submit detailed proposals for funding consideration.
The full grant application process for the Primary Prevention Multi-Year Partnership Grants Program will be run in early 2025.
The NSW Government has committed $38 million over four years to roll out the state’s first dedicated primary prevention strategy, to partner with local organisations on addressing the drivers of domestic, family and sexual violence.

Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Jodie Harrison said:
“Violence against women and girls can and must be prevented.
“Our government’s first dedicated primary prevention strategy provides a roadmap of the work we need to do to address the drivers of violence against women and stop the violence before it starts.
“We want to partner with local organisations and the community on programs that disrupt the drivers of gendered violence, promote healthy and respectful relationships, and change attitudes towards women. That will be the key to ending violence against women and girls.”
