NSW domestic violence victims will have easier access to housing through concessions on stamp duty and rental bond loans if the Perrottet government is re-elected.
It comes as Labor pledges to build a domestic violence support centre in Sydney's southwest for migrant and refugee women.
The Perrottet government's proposal aims to help get domestic violence victim-survivors into their own homes as they flee abusive relationships.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said a safe home was the first step to recovery for many victim-survivors.
"We know that safe homes leads to safe families," he said on Sunday.
"We believe that this support today will make a real difference for women and children and families across NSW."
Opposition Leader Chris Minns said it was hard starting a new life in Australia as a migrant or refugee, but even harder for domestic violence victims.
"People who are facing domestic and family violence should never be left behind," he said.
The Settlement Services International centre echoed similar support for migrant and refugee victim-survivors in Victoria and Queensland.
One in three migrant and refugee women experience domestic violence with a 5.7 per cent jump in domestic violence-related assaults in southwest Sydney, which is home to a large multicultural community.
Opposition women's spokeswoman Jodie Harrison said the proposal, to be implemented if Labor is elected in March, would bring NSW in line with best practice.
"Migrant and refugee women experiencing domestic and family violence face specific challenges, relating to visa status, a lack of trusted social networks as well as language and cultural barriers to reporting," Ms Harrison said.
Mr Perrottet believes his government's proposed support will make a "real difference" with families fleeing violence struggling to save for a bond or home loan.
The NSW government would waive the Rentstart Bond Loan eligibility criteria for people fleeing domestic violence.
The loan scheme allows renters to access interest-free state government loans for bonds.
Victim-survivors will also be able to access both the First Home Buyer Choice and First Home Buyer Assistance schemes, even if they previously accessed them with their abusive partner.
The choice program allows home buyers to elect to pay either a stamp duty or an annual land tax when they buy a home, while the assistance scheme provides concessions or complete waivers of stamp duty.
Women's Housing Company chief executive Debbie Georgopoulos said the proposal would help women not eligible for crisis accommodation or social housing.
"Having somewhere to go is actually the most important step in leaving a violent relationship," Ms Georgopoulos said.
The schemes would not be means tested.
"This ensures that whatever situation you're in, there's choice and opportunity to provide a safe environment and a safe home for women across NSW," Mr Perrottet said.
Government agencies would work together to confirm eligibility.
"Everyone deserves a safe home to raise their children, to rest and recover," Women's Safety Minister Natalie Ward said.
Housing has been at the centre of the major parties' pitches for the state election in March.
