WESNET allocated $500,000 in funding grants to 22 projects across Australia in mid 2008 to trial and test innovative approaches to prevention and early intervention in domestic and family violence.
Projects
WESNET has received a Government grant under the 2007-08 Women's Leadership and Development Program to refurbish its website and create a new forum for its members to discuss issues relating to prevention and elimination of violence.
WESNET Committee members attended training in Sydney on 27 March to learn how to use the new content management system that underpins the new website. From now on, WESNET can control and update its own content.

The new Rudd Labor Government’s approach to domestic/family violence and homelessness has the capacity to radically address decades of neglect in these fields. This paper explores the potential impact of the Homelessness White Paper and the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women. In particular it examines what impact the new approach may have on the incidence of domestic/family violence and the demand for crisis accommodation. It also discusses the impacts on the specialist service provider sector and what risks may need to be addressed.
