Thank you for your email of 10 May 2022 requesting under the Official Information Act 1982
(OIA):
Can you please send through the list of recipients of the 'Budget 2022 Investing to
eliminate violence in our homes and communities' fund, including which Government
agencies will receive funding. For each recipient, please disclose how much funding
are they receiving.
If possible, can you include the intended use / purpose of the funding being allocated
to each organisation.
I genuinely welcome people engaging with this work because ending family violence and
sexual violence is one of the biggest opportunities we have to improve the overall wellbeing
of people, families and communities. I am pleased to inform you that the information you
request is publicly available. For that reason I am declining your request under section 18(d)
of the OIA on the grounds that this information is already publically available.
You can find the summary of initiatives for the family violence and sexual violence package
in Budget 2022, as well as those for past years, published here:
https://violencefree.govt.nz/resource/ (and I have attached the summary document as well).
Additionally, further detailed information is available in Budget 2022 and Estimates
documents available her
e: https://budget.govt.nz/. In addition, you can find Te Aorerekura: The National Strategy to Eliminate Family Violence
and Sexual Violence her
e: https://violencefree.govt.nz/national-strategy/ which gives further
context to our Budget 2022 package and the transformational changes that are required to
achieve our vision.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at
