Our research

Violence against women and 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.

Women with disability

The nature and dynamics of violence and abuse towards women with disability differ from the general population and this group experiences additional barriers  when accessing support services.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Personal Safety Survey 2016 (ABS, 2017), women with a disability or long-term health condition are more likely to have experienced violence than those without.

Below is a collection of resources, papers, reports and research projects that explore the nature of violence for women with disability, along with barriers and support strategies.
