leading cause of homelessness in Australia

In Australia, domestic and family violence (DFV) is one of the main drivers of homelessness in Australia.

Sadly, many children, women and men have experienced or have witnessed abusive and violent behaviour towards a partner, former partner or family member. DFV extends beyond physical violence, and can involve actions intended to control, humiliate or scare the other person or people in the household.
