MSD funds community providers across Aotearoa New Zealand to support people who want to address their violent behaviour and live violence-free lives. The people accessing this support may self-refer to providers or be informally referred by other agencies. Community providers who deliver this support help to prevent the occurrence or re-occurrence of family violence and are a vital component of the family violence system. In Budget 2020 the government committed an additional $16 million over the next four years to strengthen responses for people who use violence, with a focus on increasing the capacity and capability of providers. This is a foundational document which sets out the strategic context for the responses MSD funds for people who use family violence and MSD’s three-year work programme. The work programme focusses on implementing the new Budget 2020 funding and the priorities for strengthening and stabilising all MSD-funded family violence responses set out in MSD’s new Family Violence Funding Approach. Engagement and collaboration with the sector, particularly improving the way we work with Māori, is a core principle which will underlie the three-year work programme. (From the document).
