The federal government has fast-tracked funding for the prevention of family and domestic violence in the Northern Territory.
Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth on Thursday announced a $10.7 million commitment would be brought forward and allocated to NT community organisations.
Ms Rishworth said the territory was clearly grappling with significant family violence issues.
"We want to make sure that we partner with the territory government in tackling this," she told reporters in Darwin.
"Obviously First Nations women and children face a significant impact and require culturally sensitive service delivery and a range of other options, and we'll continue to do that."
Independent MP Robyn Lambley last month warned parts of the territory had been hit by a crime wave after an Intervention-era booze ban expired in many remote Aboriginal communities.
The NT government replaced the federal law with controversial opt-in alcohol restrictions on July 17, with social service groups warning it was a "recipe for disaster" to allow alcohol back into communities that had been dry for 15 years.
Chief Minister Natasha Fyles on Thursday said she had been advised the situation in the communities had settled, but acknowledged the rates of alcohol-related harm and family and domestic violence remained far too high.
She defended the replacement restrictions, saying an opt-out model may have faced legal challenge.
"As a government, we have committed to a range of alcohol policy measures and we will continue to work in this space," she said.
"But the measures we put in must be across our whole community, they cannot be based on race."
The territory has the highest per capita alcohol consumption and rate of alcohol-attributable deaths in Australia, according to the NT Council of Social Service.
