The Minns Labor Government will more than double the number of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and permanently employ more medical and forensic specialists to boost frontline trauma services for victims of sexual assault across NSW. The 2023-24 NSW Budget will commit almost $53 million over 4 years to permanently recruit 48 full-time equivalent staff to fill critical gaps in healthcare services for victims of sexual assault. These 48 new positions will ensure every local health district and health service across NSW, including in regional areas, has 24/7 crisis coverage for adult and child victims of sexual assault and can provide a specialist medical and forensic response within 2 hours of request.
