It focuses on high priority groups, including:

• Culturally and linguistically diverse communities (in particular, people of refugee, refugee-like experiences, and asylum seeker backgrounds)
• Rural and remote communities
• LGBTIQ+ people
• Older women
• Children and young people (in particular, those who have experienced trauma, sexual and domestic violence or who are in or leaving out-of-home care)
• People with disability

Registration of Interest and consultation stage

You do not need to have submitted a Registration of Interest during this phase to make an application for funding under the Sexual Violence Project Fund.
