Amid heightened national focus on violence against women following a recent spate of killings, new research reveals a critical shortage in available support resources. In Victoria alone, more than 3,500 women every year are unable to access essential assistance services because the demand for help has grown so high.[1][2]
The extreme strain on service providers leaves thousands of individuals facing family violence on their own without professional support.
