National says funding for family violence support is right, but the government's version of it isn't targeted enough.

The government has announced it will give an additional 76 million dollars over four years to 150 front line support agencies.

But Simon Bridges has questions about the specifics of where that money's going and says National would've done things differently.

"Last year we had a packaged well over 100 million that we thought was targeted, that was following our social investment approach, and you're not seeing that in this. In fact, its pretty vague on the detail."
