kinds of violence that takes place such as psychological and emotional abuse, coercive control
and attempt or threat of violence (AIHW, 2018).

need of rehabilitation centre that will offer protection and security to women and work with
social welfare society and other institutions to increase awareness against women violence to
improve the condition to become more gigantic (Horlin, Falkmer, Parsons, Albrecht, & Falkmer,

and 30% of the violence assaults were raised in New South Wales. The main resources that are
required for the purpose of starting the rehabilitation centre will be rental building with staff that
will work in for spreading awareness. The other resource required is the need of beds, wardrobes,
beddings, clothes and food (Banyard, 2014). There is also need to take legal permission,
stationary needs and other furniture for the meeting the operational requirements of the
rehabilitation centre. An estimate for the above expenditures and resources is cash requirement
$20000, staff and training $727026.40, furniture and fixtures $294684 the other expenses are

beds. It is also assumed that the assets of the organisation will depreciate at the rate of 20%
(Burns, & Dewhurst, 2016). It is also assumed that the number of human resources will be same
for the whole year. It also includes the information regarding the contingency plan of 10 %. In

staff members in the centre which results in the increase in the total cost to be incurred by it to
meet out the contingency includes retention of the skilled and experience human resources such
