Project description
The project aimed to work with government, universities and the relevant family violence and disability sectors to bring together a body of evidence from which recommendations could be made that would help improve family violence service responses to women with disabilities experiencing violence.
In addition, the outcomes of the project aim to inform the implementation of Victoria's Integrated Family Violence Reform and contribute to the evaluation of the Integrated Family Violence Reform Strategy.
