I’ve Got Something to Say: A Photovoice Study With Women Who Have Experienced Violence
Once only of concern to women and feminist activists, family violence (FV) is now embedded into Australian national public policy agendas and institutionalised through government-funded and regulated service systems. Despite unprecedented public and political attention limited contemporary research seeks to contribute insights of women who have experienced FV to policy and service development. This study responds to this gap through a place-based…

Applying Human-Centred Design Tools in Social Work Research: A Desire-Centred Approach
This article describes an exploration of the application of human-centred design (HCD) tools in social work research. Drawing on Tuck's [2009. Suspending damage: A letter to communities. Harvard Educational Review, 79(3), 409–428] definition of "desire-centered" research (DCR), we describe the development of a set of HCD research tools based on DCR principles in a community support setting, focused on participants with experience of marginalisati…
You Say One Thing Wrong, and Your Children Are Gone’: Exploring Trauma-Informed Practices in Foster and Kinship Care
Trauma-informed care is a growing practice approach in child and family social work. Current policy directions in out-of-home care (OOHC) in Victoria, Australia show an interest in further implementation of trauma-informed care, particularly through training for foster and kinship carers. Drawing upon findings from grounded theory research with sixteen foster and kinship carers, this article considers the application of trauma-informed practices …
Beyond survival: Strengthening community‐based support for parents receiving a family service intervention
This paper presents parents' experiences of community support and their recommendations for how their communities, and the services within them, might support their families. Generated through a human‐centred design methodology and using a desire‐centred framework, the findings suggest that parents receiving a family service require support invoking feelings of intimacy, trust, reciprocity, inclusivity, connection and belonging. Parents' recommen…
A Mixed-Methods Study of Two Modes of the Circle of Security
Purpose: This study compared the impact, challenges, and benefits of the Circle of Security-Parenting (COS-P) intervention across two delivery modes: group center-based (GCCOS-P) and individual home-based (IHCOS-P). Methods: This mixed-methods study compared the impact of the COS-P on parental reflective functioning and parental stress across two delivery modes: GCCOS-P ( n = 7) and IHCOS-P ( n = 7). It compared the challenges and benefits of eac…
Pathway to success: Using students’ insights and perspectives to improve retention and success for university students from low socioeconomic (LSE) backgrounds
In an increasingly complex landscape of diversification and massification, universities are grappling with challenges of student attrition. This paper presents findings from a project investigating how students from low socio-economic backgrounds at a regional Australian university perceive challenges and supports associated with retention and success. Twenty-seven students received intensive one-to-one support from a Faculty-embedded ‘academic a…
University students’ perceptions of social networking sites (SNSs) in their educational experiences at a regional Australian university
Higher education institutions, and the way education is delivered and supported, are being transformed by digital technologies. Internationally, institutions are increasingly incorporating online technologies into delivery frameworks and administration – both through internal learning management systems (LMS) and external social networking sites (SNSs). This study aims to explore how higher education students in a regional Australian dual-sector …
On laughter and loss: Children's views of shared time, parenting and security post-separation
Among the research, practice and socio-legal commentary on the substantial sharing of parenting time after separation, children's voices about their experiences remain overwhelmingly silent. This article draws on findings of a descriptive phenomenological study which investigated Australian school-aged (8- to 12-year-old) children's descriptions of two binary phenomena: security and contentment in shared time arrangements, and the absence of secu…
