This Schedule will support the delivery of the national Step Together service (Step Together), which commenced on 1 July 2025. Step Together will provide a pathway to early intervention for individuals at risk of radicalising to violent extremism in all Australian States and Territories. It will also assist in raising awareness of violent extremism in the broader Australian community.
These Schedules provide funding to the states to support de-radicalising high risk violent extremists in their custody through a new de-radicalisation program to rehabilitate and reintegrate high risk violent extremists in custodial settings.
These Schedules will support the expansion of the national Living Safe Together Intervention Program to support at-risk individuals radicalising to violent extremism, by increasing the reach of the countering violent extremism intervention services to younger Australians, including in regional and rural Australia, and online.
