The Victorian Government, through the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing is providing $2.2 million for the Aboriginal Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) in 2023-24 to implement community led projects that educate, prevent, reduce and respond to family violence in Aboriginal communities across Victoria.

It supports projects that:
- are Aboriginal-led, including Aboriginal-led partnerships
- are consistent with the goals and objectives of Action Groups and strengthen the capacity of Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal organisations to address family violence at a local level
- will provide an ongoing or long-term benefit to the community
- complement existing local community projects or initiatives and demonstrate partnerships with other government or non-government initiatives
- align with the Dhelk Dja: Safe Our Way – Strong Culture, Strong Peoples, Strong Families 10 Year Agreement (2018–2028).
