A major report on the prevention of violence against women and children has been released, almost six months after it was handed to government. Nearly 500 experts contributed to the “stakeholder consultation” report by Monash University, that will inform Australia's next National Plan to end violence against women and children. On average a woman in Australia dies every nine days at the hands of their current or former partner.
