"In this paper, current knowledge about the extent of children’s exposure to domestic violence in Australia is
described, along with the documented impacts that this exposure can have on children. This includes psychological
and behavioural impacts, health and socioeconomic impacts, and its link to the intergenerational transmission of violence and re-victimisation. Current legislative and policy initiatives are then described and some community-based programs that have been introduced in Australia to address the problem of children’s exposure to domestic violence are highlighted. The paper concludes that initiatives focused on early
intervention and holistic approaches to preventing and responding to children’s exposure to domestic violence should
be considered as part of strategies developed to address this problem." (from the foreword)
