Funding boost for Vic sex assault support

Sexual assault support services will get a funding boost to cut waiting times, the Victorian government says.

A $1.35 million funding boost was announced on Saturday for Victoria's Centres Against Sexual Assault to provide services to an extra 815 people, particularly children and young people.

"This vital funding boost will help clear the waiting lists for children and young people to ensure they can access services as soon as possible," Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos said.
