The Increasing Support for Victim-Survivors of Domestic Violence and Modern Slavery Budget 2023-24 measure provides support to temporary visa holders leaving violent relationships and people who are at-risk of, or who have experienced, forced marriage.
This includes establishing the Forced Marriage Specialist Support Program (FMSSP) from 2 January 2025. The FMSSP will provide caseworker support, counselling, temporary accommodation, financial support, and health support, including enabling participants and their dependents access to Medicare who would otherwise be ineligible. People on the FMSSP may hold any type of visa. A dependent of an FMSSP client may include children, elderly people, or people with disabilities, residing in Australia.

The Department of Social Services (DSS) administers the STPP and FMSSP.
