An innovative, community-led Far North Queensland project helping protect First Nations women from tech-based abuse has received support from the Federal Government.

A $200,000 funding allocation will assist Queensland Remote Aboriginal Media (QRAM) to develop a range of engaging and culturally-relevant resources to build awareness of the nature and impact of tech-based abuse on women and their children.

The resources will be co-designed with communities with the aim to challenge and shift damaging social norms that contribute to gender-based harm.

It will help equip people with the information and skills they need to better understand, identify and combat tech-based abuse.

Queensland Remote Aboriginal Media acting general manager, Candice Siedler-Twine, said the initiative responds to an identified community need in remote Queensland.

"Remote First Nations communities experience a range of ongoing and emerging issues related to the use of technology, including lack of access, high costs, inadequate services and support, and the potential for technology to be used in the abuse of women and children," Ms Siedler-Twine said.

"By bringing people together to share stories and strategies on how we can better protect and uplift our women and children, we hope to empower First Nations communities and place them at the centre of developing resources that result in meaningful change."

QRAM is one of 10 organisations awarded funding by the eSafety Commissioner under Round 2 of the Federal Government's $10 million Preventing Tech-based Abuse of Women Grants Program.

Other projects funded under Round 2 focus on preventing abuse of women with a disability, culturally and linguistically diverse women, and LGBTIQ+ women – reflecting that online gender-based violence affects a broad range of communities.

Member for Leichhardt, Matt Smith, said praised the word of QRAM.

"Programs like this are important in empowering First Nations communities to help people identify and combat abuse online," Mr Smith said.

"Importantly, this project is community-led, and will benefit women in more than 120 First Nations communities across Far North Queensland."

Funded projects are expected to reach more than 5 million Australians across Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Victoria and New South Wales.

Assistant Minister for Northern Australia, Senator Nita Green, said there is no place for abuse against women anywhere in Australian society.

"Educating people about abuse online through community organisations is just one important way our Government is addressing this issue," Ms Green said.

"That's why we are funding programs like this in Far North Queensland to help people better understand and deal with tech-based abuse."
