Australian Human Rights Commission Information for LOI – Australia, 29 August 2016 domestic violence on their work.63 Leave and other entitlements have been made available through agreements or award conditions for over one million Australians (as at 2013).64 Existing federal, state and territory legislative frameworks provide limited protection for women experiencing domestic and family violence from further discrimination. 76. Women and girls with disability face significant issues in relation to violence, particularly violence and abuse in institutional settings, violence in care settings and other forms of gendered disability violence including forced sterilisation and forced treatment.65 77. An estimated 935,600 adult women first experienced physical abuse, and an estimated 1,092,200 first experienced sexual abuse, as a child aged between 0 to 14 years.66 It is also estimated that family and domestic violence is present in 55% of physical abuses and 40% of sexual abuses against children.67 78. The Commission commends the Government’s National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-22 (National Plan).68 The Commission remains concerned at the under-resourcing of accommodation and support services and the inadequate levels of support for women in rural and remote areas, women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, women with disabilities, older women, and lesbian, trans and intersex women.69 Cuts to community legal centres and Aboriginal legal services can impact on access to legal services for women affected by violence. 79. The Commission also acknowledges the $5.1 million dedicated to the implementation of the Third Action Plan of the National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009-2020, which will help support early intervention and child safe approaches.70 However, the Commission is concerned that this funding is inadequate to achieve the objectives of the Plan. In August 2016, the Minister for Social Services and Multicultural Affairs re-affirmed the Commonwealth Government’s strong support for the National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009-2020, especially the Third Action Plan with its emphasis on the First Thousand Days for a Child.71 80. Australia lacks a coherent national system of death reviews to ensure accurate monitoring to address systemic issues from deaths associated with domestic violence. The Commission is conducting an inquiry into Enhancing domestic and family violence death review processes. 81. The Commission notes that the Australian and New Zealand Child Death Review and Prevention Group (ANZCDR&PG) has continued its valuable work to establish a national child death and injury data base as per the recommendation of the National Children’s Commissioner in her 2014 Children’s Rights Report.72 82.
