This project provides a deeper understanding of how men’s behaviour change programs (MBCPs) support women and children through contact with them throughout the process.

The project had the following aims:
1. Document national practice of partner contact across
Australian MBCPs, including the nature and types
of arrangements used to provide the service (e.g. inhouse contact workers, MBCP facilitator contact,
partnerships, subcontracting of specialist women’s services,
outsourcing etc.).
2. Examine how MBCPs support the needs and safety
of women and children through partner contact and
its benefits.
3. Explore how certain populations—e.g. Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander; culturally and linguistically diverse;
diverse sexuality and gender—are catered for in terms of
MBCP partner contact.
4. Understand MBCP partner contact in both urban and
regional areas.
5. Improve the quality and consistency of support provided
to women and children by current and future MBCPs
and perpetrator interventions more broadly. (From the document). Record #6704
