Our research

Violence against women and their children affects everybody. It impacts on the health, wellbeing and safety of a significant proportion of Australians throughout all states and territories and places an enormous burden on the nation’s economy across family and community services, health and hospitals, income-support and criminal justice systems.

🚨 RELEASED TODAY: Findings from our survey of 1,261 Australian victim-survivors of coercive control. We asked whether victim-survivors believed coercive control should be criminalised & what benefits they thought reform would have.

'You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup' was conducted BY and FOR First Nations people. Engaging over 200 people, 8 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research teams, and using First Nations research methodologies, this new research sets the benchmark.

New research by @ANROWS regarding the alarming conduct of removal of First Nations children.

Had some very important yarns with @NITV @SBSNews about the importance of the Rights of our children.

One too many taken, but not one too many that we can’t fix this crises!
#auspol

First Nations people have been left out of decision-making - with devastating consequences.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers and community members are calling for the urgent reprioritisation of funding.

New research by @ANROWS @QATSICPP_2018 @ACU_ICPS found that current systems are causing lifelong harm to #FirstNations children impacted by #FamilyViolence. 8 ATSI community researchers developed this framework to heal their children. Incredible resource for all in this space.

Child wellbeing must become a national policy priority so that First Nations kids & their families can get the help they need, in the ways that they need it. There are no shortcuts. This requires serious cross-portfolio & jurisdictional collaboration and commitment nationally. https://twitter.com/JennaPrice/status/1629969228559265794
