Domestic violence remains a significant issue in Australia, affecting many individuals across the country. Approximately one in five Australians have experienced partner violence or abuse. This includes physical, sexual, emotional, or economic abuse by a partner they lived with. Specifically, about 2.7 million women and 1.5 million men have faced such violence.
