In Australia, domestic and family violence is disturbingly common.
It is one of the drivers of homelessness among women, children, and men.
Domestic and family violence crosses all boundaries, race, age, financial status, education and sex, both locally and regionally.
Many victims of domestic and family violence will never report their experience. With many incidents unreported, the number of cases may be much worse than we think.
On Friday, November 29, local Rotary Clubs teamed up with the NSW Police for Purple Shirt Day at the Rotunda in Church Street, to encourage a much-needed and very important conversation locally.
