The Disability and Family Violence Crisis Response Initiative is designed for women and children with a disability who experience(d) family violence and require immediate disability support to access a family violence crisis response. Disability support is provided for a maximum of 12 weeks and includes equipment hire, aspects of accommodation and attendant care; keeping safe at home and in the community; and looking at longer term housing and support options.
