Overview of domestic and family violence

The overview explores domestic and family violence in the Australian context and introduces the Safe and Together model.

While domestic and family violence can be perpetrated by both genders, ‘The overwhelming majority of acts of domestic violence and sexual assault are perpetrated by men against women.’ (Diemer, 2015)

As a result, this practice guide focuses on mothers and children and on helping fathers to change their behaviour.
