While in recent years some Australian states have adopted OIDV-specific policies, there remains little research which examines the experiences of victim-survivors of OIDV. This article addresses that gap through an examination of the experiences of 17 OIDV victim-survivors. The findings contribute new insights into how OIDV impacts risk; barriers to help-seeking; experiences of reporting OIDV to the police; the risks associated with information sharing; and perpetrator and organizational accountability. These findings underscore the importance of further shaping policy to address OIDV in Australia, while highlighting the necessity for continued research in this area internationally.
