As the Northern Territory government announces $20 million in domestic violence funding, one Darwin shelter is being forced to cut back staff hours due to budget constraints.

Dr Brown pointed out that the $20 million figure was the same amount heard at a coronial inquest last month.

The coronial inquest heard a working group for domestic violence funding in the NT identified $180 million over five years was the "absolute minimum" the government needed to provide the DSFV sector.

It further heard the working group was told to revise that figure down to $90 million, before the government then committed $20 million over two years.
