It was great to meet with CEO Stephanie Hodson and the team from Relationships Australia Canberra and Region today to announce the return of men’s behaviour change programs to Wagga and surrounds.

These programs could make a significant difference in reducing domestic violence by encouraging men who’ve used violence against their families to recognise and cease their behaviour.

I’ve been pushing to restore these programs to our region after a five-year absence and I thank the Minister for Women, Jodie Harrison, for listening to our requests and providing funding to deliver the programs for the next two years.
