00:00 The NSW Government has today delivered on a pre-election promise with the opening of
00:06 the state's first multicultural centre for women's and family safety.
00:12 Located in Fairfield in South West Sydney, the centre was officially opened by Deputy
00:17 Premier Pru Kha and Minister for Women Jodie Harrison.
00:21 Centre organisers say the facility is essential in order to help women who have fallen through
00:25 the gaps of other services, particularly those of which speak little to no English or face
00:30 cultural restrictions.
00:33 The Deputy Premier echoes this sentiment and says the centre is an essential part of the
00:37 Government's long-term plan to combat domestic violence.
00:41 If we are going to do something about this emergency in this state of domestic and family
00:46 violence then we need to make sure that all women are safe and that we are providing resources
00:51 and support to women, including culturally and linguistically diverse women, in a way
00:57 that is culturally appropriate for them and meets them where they are.
01:01 The opening follows a $230 million assistance program for victim survivors of domestic violence
01:08 announced by the state government earlier this week.
