Domestic violence services overwhelmed despite record funding

Published 21 August 2024, 10:22 am
The support systems to help victims of domestic violence and family violence are at breaking point in the midst of a national crisis. That's the message from the national commissioner, who has appealed for men to take more responsibility for changing the harrowing statistics. If you or someone you know needs support, please call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732).
