About

Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to Women In Prison for the pilot of domestic abuse support services in women's prisons, aligning with the Government's Strategy for Violence Against Women and Girls.

The project aimed to establish a national network of Link Workers to build partnerships between women in prison, prison staff, women's centres, and domestic abuse services, ensuring early intervention on reception and dedicated support upon release.

It also involved developing a 'lived experience' peer support network of Women's Champion roles held by women serving prison sentences to increase access to gender-specific support pre- and post-release and deliver structured group work and interventions.

The Women's Champions would support and train new Champions to ensure sustainability after the project ended.

The project took a holistic 'whole system approach' to meeting women's needs and reducing reoffending by connecting gender-specific community services and prisons, strengthening connections between women in prisons and women's services, and facilitating joint work and referrals between prisons and domestic abuse organisations.

The contract value was AUD 965,218.
