"Violence against women and children is abhorrent. It is as simple as that and we must never make excuses for these sorts of behaviours,"Senator Ruston said.
She said men needed to"take responsibility"for their attitudes and behaviours and seek help to change them,adding the government"does not support programs which would expose victims to further harm".
The programs,which will involve group sessions,counselling and home visits,will take place in NSW,Queensland and Western Australia and run to June 2022.
The funds were not allocated in response to the murders of Hannah Clarke and her children by her estranged husband this week,but come as part of the government's fourth "action plan" to address violence against women,which has a total budget of $340 million over three years.
Ms Clarke,31,and her children Aaliyah,6,Laianah,4,and Trey,3,were killed when the family car was set alight in Brisbane on Wednesday. Rowan Baxter,who died at the scene,doused the car with petrol and set it on fire.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison was among those to express devastation at the murders on Thursday.
