AUSTRALIA - WOMEN, DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE
AND HOMELESSNESS: A SYNTHESIS REPORT 

 

August 2008 

Domestic and family violence related homelessness is a widespread and growing problem in Australia.

Every year an unacceptable number of Australian women and children have their lives and housing circumstances disrupted because of domestic and family violence. This is an intolerable situation with significant impacts on all involved, especially children. Women in this situation are, and remain, the ‘hidden’ homeless.
