Ms Car said the immediate focus would be on "frontline and crisis emergency response" but primary prevention and "early intervention" would also be addressed.
She flagged further investment for regional NSW saying the "clear feedback" was that there needed to be a targeted approach.
The regional rate for domestic violence assault is 30 per cent above the state average.
Former Australian of the Year Rosie Batty addressed the May 3 cabinet meeting and urged the government to focus on prevention.
Ms Car said "as we heard from Rosie Batty, if you focus too much on the work at the bottom of the cliff, then you are not going to get the women who are about to fall".
Ms Car said a royal commission into domestic violence had been discussed by the cabinet as had electronic monitoring devices but no decision had been taken.
NSW minister Penny Sharpe said the focus would also be on breaking "intergenerational violence".
"Children who are seeing it perpetrated on their mothers need to be protected," she said.
