520 _aMigrant and refugee women experience domestic and family violence at least as much as women in the wider population, and they face particular barriers to accessing the services that can help. Multicultural and settlement services can offer a key avenue of contact with migrant and refugee women, who may engage with these services soon after their arrival in Australia. This project sought to identify how multicultural and settlement services can be better supported to assist women and children experiencing violence. The research was conducted by university-based researchers in partnership with the Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health in Victoria. It involved consultation workshops, focus groups and interviews with service providers and with migrant and refugee women in Adelaide, Hobart and Melbourne, as well as a national online survey of multicultural and settlement service providers. The project found that multicultural and settlement service providers regularly encounter and support clients experiencing family violence. However, services’ capacity to respond to the needs of their clients is undermined by limited funding and service scope, and limited options for referral. Importantly, the project also identified core practices that strengthen the services’ capacity to respond, such as training, organisational support structures, and community connectedness. The report includes recommendations for policy and practice. (From the website). The 16 page Research to Policy & Practice report is also available. #Record #6678
