Early Interventions Grants - Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) - 2026

The aim of the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Early Intervention Grant is to fund activities and projects that contribute to shifting the burden away from the tertiary response system in the long term, aligning with Domain 2 of the Safe, Respected and Free from Violence Reduction Framework 2018-2028.

Grants are available for early intervention grant pilot programs to support boys and young men starting to use IPV. Pilot funding is intended to support new projects that can demonstrate effective, local approaches and contribute to sector learning. A total pool of $1,797,000 non-recurrent funding is available for up to three projects for three years across the NT. Project budgets will need to include a minimum of $40,000 per project in evaluation funding.

Initiatives that aim to identify and support individuals and families to stop Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) from escalating and prevent violence from reoccurring are referred to as early intervention initiatives, also known as ‘secondary prevention'.
