00:01Recruitment is actually really difficult also in rural, regional and remote areas based
00:06on transient matters with local communities, based on the low population rates.
00:16There's an attraction to this work sometimes is quite difficult.
00:23Also the costs of the basics around service delivery, so working in domestic and family
00:32violence services will include at times a lot of travel, but that is not necessarily
00:39factored into the funding envelopes for these services.
00:43In some areas you know we've spoken to members that in some areas some workers may need to
00:49stay, because they're travelling such large distances, they may need to stay in another
00:56area for the night.
00:57Again, the costs of accommodation are not covered in those funding envelopes and this work is
01:04very, very specialised and place-based solutions and place-based service delivery is really,
01:11really critical in these areas and it will often look quite different and again the funding
01:18envelopes don't actually really cater for those specialised responses.
