It is believed Mr Turnbull will allocate $100 million to raising awareness on this issue forcing violent men to confront their own weaknesses.
On Thursday Mr Turnbull called the domestic violence rate in Australia "one of the great shames of Australia," labelling the issue a "disgrace''.
Domestic violence has already accounted for 63 deaths this year.
"Let me say this to you: disrespecting women does not always result in violence against women. But all violence against women begins with disrespecting women," Mr Turnbull said.
Local domestic violence advocate for women and men and Nguumambiny Indigenous CEO Lynn Field believes the funding is a great step in the right direction.
"It's good there is money out there. I'm looking for funding for programs in Narromine, Warren and Nyngan," she said.

Ms Field said domestic violence was a huge problem.
"It ties in domestic violence with drug problems. It's an interrelated issue," she said.
"Rough Diamonds is a female domestic violence program in Dubbo. We're on our third run. It's been a great success but it's not funded and I can't afford to be running backwards and forwards all the time.
"I want to set up the programs and then we can get local people to run them, it's about empowering people."
Prime Minister Turnbull's funding was signed off by his new cabinet earlier this week.
Funding includes trial GPS trackers for perpetrators, special safe phones for victims and other measures to boost security of women at home.
There is also funding for Indigenous family violence services, 1800 RESPECT, MensLine and a program which teaches school students about respectful relationships.
Ms Field said she had already approached local MP Mark Coulton with her plans to help domestic violence victims in the electorate.
"I've taken my suggestions to Mark Coulton's office," she said.
"They were very receptive and I plan on following through with them."
