Being a Care Leaver Is a Whole Different Experience
In Australia, young care leavers experience poorer outcomes across multiple life domains compared to their non‐care‐experienced peers, including an overrepresentation of early pregnancy and parenthood. Care‐experienced young women may become pregnant soon after exiting care, facing additional challenges as they navigate their move to independent living alongside the responsibilities of motherhood. This study explores mothering and help‐seeking ex…
Critiquing the categorisation and measurement of disability, and family and domestic violence
Women with disability (WWD) are considerably more likely to experience family and domestic violence (FDV) victimisation than women generally, however, estimates vary widely. This article considers the extent to which studies are able to apply intersectional understandings of FDV against WWD to the categorisation and measurement of the issue. A literature review of ProQuest and Scopus was undertaken in 2021. Peer-reviewed articles, books and book …
It’s not a normal upbringing
I Don't Think I Would've Survived Without Having a Constant Support System
For care‐experienced young people, the preparation for leaving out‐of‐home care (OOHC) is vital in support of post‐OOHC outcomes. This research explores the acquisition of Independent Living Skills (ILS) amongst young people in Western Australia and is based on interviews with care‐experienced young people at two time points: while in OOHC and after leaving OOHC. Overall, 72% of participants were female, 45% had a disability and 45% identified as…
Exploring Lived Experience of Family and Domestic Violence Against Women With Disability
This article reports on a scoping review exploring understandings of family and domestic violence (FDV) against women with disability (WWD) within the literature and constitutes the second article in a two-part series, the first critiquing the categorization and measurement of FDV and disability. We report findings from qualitative studies included in the review, predominantly interpretivist and critical in orientation. The scoping review include…
Exploring Categories of Family Violence Across the Lifespan
Family violence may be experienced at any stage of the lifespan; however, these experiences are often understood differently based on the age of the victim and who perpetrates the abuse. The significance of age is evident in the three categories of child abuse, domestic and family violence (DFV), and elder abuse. Each of these categories has its own definition which determines who is considered a victim or a perpetrator, and the behaviors counted…
Youth participation processes in longitudinal out of home care research
While there is growing recognition of the importance of meaningful youth participation in activities and decisions which impact their lives, facilitating such engagement within different forums requires varied approaches. A programme of youth research at one Western Australian university has sought to embed pathways for ongoing youth participation in longitudinal research. In particular, we discuss Navigating Through Life, a large‐scale WA resear…
The Risk to Reward for Being an Out Proud Survivor”
In October 2017, the #MeToo hashtag went viral on social media, emerging as a global medium for solidarity between women who had experienced sexual violence. However, the contextless nature of a hashtag meant that individual variations of experiences were erased in the positioning of #MeToo as a singular statement. Previous literature exposed a lack of understanding of how geographical factors contributed to the response and uptake of #MeToo. Thi…
Understanding factors that impact the acquisition of Independent Living Skills among young people transitioning from Out-of-Home Care
Independent Living Skills (ILS) are conceptualised via eight interconnected ILS domains. • Overall, the ILS measure and domain scores were higher for the left-care group, except for the Health Risk Management and Managing Relationships domains, which were higher in the in-care group. • Self-determination positively predicted the overall ILS measure score and six out of eight ILS domain scores. • A young person’s care status positively predicted t…
How Do Employees in the Disability and Family and Domestic Violence Sectors Respond to Disclosures of Violence From Women With Disability
Women with disability experience higher rates of family and domestic violence (FDV) compared to the rest of the population. There is limited research into how workers in FDV and disability organizations respond to violence against women with disability. Using a case study vignette of a woman with disability disclosing FDV, this phenomenological study explored how 10 employees across the disability and FDV sectors respond to disclosures of abuse, …
The Long Shadow of Intimate Partner Violence
Ongoing health issues influence the postseparation lives of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). This study identified associations between health following IPV and demographic, housing, employment, and social participation factors. Survivors of IPV in Australia were surveyed. Logistic regression assessed factors of interest with physical and mental health conditions. Six hundred and fifty-eight women participated. Physical health issues…
Social Participation After Intimate Partner Violence
This large mixed methods study adopted a citizenship lens to examine the impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women's social participation. The study found that social participation in all categories contracted dramatically during IPV and, in most cases, never regained pre-violence levels. The study also found that following initial social withdrawal, many women went on to reengage in new ways, including through political activism on gend…
Messiness in international qualitative interviewing
This is a reflexive account of the messiness experienced by a Persian-Australian doctoral researcher interviewing social work and human service practitioners and people seeking asylum in Germany. This data collection was part of a cross-national comparative study of the impacts of policy on the experiences and perceptions of people seeking asylum and social work and human service practitioners in Bavaria and Western Australia. Through interview s…
Developing and using matrix methods for analysis of large longitudinal qualitative datasets in out-of-home-care research
Managing and analysing large qualitative datasets pose a particular challenge for researchers seeking a consistent and rigorous approach to qualitative data analysis. This paper describes and demonstrates the development and adoption of a matrix tool to guide the qualitative data analysis of a large sample (N = 122) of interview data. The paper articulates the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the matrix analysis tool and how it was dev…
The Effectiveness of Protection Orders in Reducing Recidivism in Domestic Violence
Preventing and reducing domestic violence is a national and international social priority. Civil law protection orders (POs) have been the primary legal response to domestic violence internationally for a number of decades. However, evidence of their effectiveness is mixed due to variations in application within and across countries and variable quality of the research with most studies at high risk of bias. The purpose of this systematic review …
Working with Restrictions
With a record number of people reported to be forcibly displaced worldwide and an increasingly anti-asylum policy environment in Global North host nations, it is critical to examine social work and human services with people seeking asylum and people with refugee status. This scoping review sought to identify and review the existing qualitative research on such practice from the perspectives of social work and human service practitioners, people …
The Influence of Policy, Cultural and Historical Contexts on Social Work and Human Service Practice Responses with People Seeking Asylum in Germany and Australia
This article explores the findings of a qualitative study comparing social work and human service practice with people who have sought asylum in Germany and Australia. Globally social workers are concerned with the record high of people forcibly displaced worldwide and the Global North host-nations’ increasingly hostile, discriminatory and restrictive policies towards people seeking asylum. This policy context is antithetical to the professional …
Economic Abuse as an Invisible Form of Domestic Violence
The predominant perception of intimate partner violence (IPV) as constituting physical violence can still dominate, particularly in research and media reports, despite research documenting multiple forms of IPV including sexual violence occurring between intimate partners and various forms of psychological and emotional abuse. One frequently hidden or “invisible” form of abuse perpetrated within intimate partner relationships is economic abuse, a…
Research protocol of a multifaceted prospective mixed-method longitudinal study
Navigating Through Life exemplifies a novel utilisation of multiple data sources to research outcomes for vulnerable and difficult to reach populations, and offers insights for other complex mixed-methods longitudinal studies. Results will provide new and more comprehensive data about specific pathways that may be influential to a range of post-care outcomes. Findings will extend evidence to inform better service-delivery models that improve outc…
Rethinking Women’s Mental Health After Intimate Partner Violence
This article reports on mixed methods research into intimate partner violence (IPV) and women's mental health. Using an online national survey and life history interviews, quantitative and qualitative data analysis demonstrates how IPV negatively impacts women's sense of self, with other multiple losses in relation to income, work, housing, and social participation further undermining recovery into the long term. The feminist concept of sexual po…
How practitioners respond to men’s use of intimate partner violence in rural areas
This exploratory study aimed to understand the complexities and particularities of social service practices with men who use intimate partner violence in rural areas. Ten rural service providers in Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia participated in qualitative, semi-structured, in-depth interviews. A combined inductive and deductive approach to thematic analysis was used to identify key themes. Themes were: metro-ce…
From Economic Abuse to Economic Empowerment
Economic abuse as a form of men’s violence against women has only been recently recognized as a form of violence in its own right. It is known to further exacerbate the detrimental long-term impacts of domestic and family violence on women and children. There is evidence to suggest the effectiveness of financial literacy programs in mitigating some of these impacts and improving women’s financial well-being in the longer term; however, there are …
Intimate Partner Violence and Housing
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an extreme example of gender inequality that compromises women’s citizenship. This article discusses the effects of IPV on women’s housing circumstances based on the findings of a large national Australian survey. The analysis found that IPV erodes women’s citizenship, which includes their access to safe and affordable housing, connections to “home,” and participation in community life. Drawing on notions of gen…

Complexities of discretion in social services in the third sector
Policy analysts have devoted considerable time to examining the problem of the policy implementation gap, with one important strand in the literature following Michael Lipsky's work on street-level bureaucracy and discretion. In this paper, we aim to contribute to the literature concerning shifts in government/third sector organisation contractual arrangements and whether they constitute a significant (post-neoliberal) development in policy imple…

Exploring alternative pathways out of poverty
In this article we report on the research findings from our exploratory study examining connections between Australian responses to two important social issues: domestic violence and employment. Although international literature particularly from North America, comprehensively addresses the connections between domestic violence and employment, there is a paucity of Australian research on this topic. Intrigued by this as both practitioners and res…
Current social work practice in the fields of mental illness and intellectual disability
This study of social work practice and disability follows the history of two fields of disability: mental illness and intellectual disability. Of particular interest are two key policy influences in the disability sector, deinstitutionalisation and normalisation. The extent to which deinstitutionalisation and normalisation have brought real benefit to people with disabilities is examined from social workers' perspectives. The implementation of th…

Supporting Women After Domestic Violence
Evaluating Contracted Domestic Violence Programs
The growing significance of domestic violence programs run by the state and contracted nongovernment agencies in Australia over the past decade has not been matched by a commensurate growth in evaluation of those programs. A number of evaluations have been conducted, but only a few have been long-term and large-scale, due to funding and other constraints. The promotion of evidence-based practice and policy encourages practitioners and scholars to…
