Funding to tackle modern slavery in Australia welcomed - but still more work to do

Survivors of human trafficking will receive a four-year funding boost from the government, as part of the federal budget. The Support for Trafficked People Program, delivered by the Australian Red Cross, has been allocated an additional 24-point-3 million dollars. Support groups have welcomed the move, but say there is still more that can be done to tackle modern-day slavery in Australia.
