More than 450 new safe spaces are set to be built to house thousands of women and children escaping domestic violence each year, through $78 million in fresh funding.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison will announce the spend on Monday in an address at the National Press Club, where he'll argue the coalition is best placed to keep Australians safe against all manner of threats.
The bulk of the money, $60 million, will be given to eligible organisations to provide new emergency housing for people fleeing violence at home, or build upon housing already on offer.
