In New South Wales there is a push for a state domestic violence body that would coordinate services to ensure a better response to the scourge of domestic violence. Currently in Australia there are over 120,000 domestic violence assaults each year with two women killed every week, which has led to a push to examine different approaches to reduce this appalling statistic.
According the Public Service Association the current system is a patchwork system leading to domestic violence victims missing out on vital support. Stephen Hill talks to domestic survivors and case workers to query what can be done to improve the state’s response to the scourge of domestic violence.
