Notes:	This chapter presents findings from the Australian component of a cross cultural survey in which respondents were asked to provide their definition of abuse within the family and to provide examples of severe, moderate and mild abuse within the context of parent-child, husband-wife, wife-husband, adult-elderly parent, sibling, and other family/domestic relationships. The Australian sample consisted of 41 females and 8 males, ranging in age from 20 to 70 years old, from a variety of origins. The chapter discusses macrosystem definitions of family violence or domestic abuse; the Australian microsystem, in terms of family structure; statistics and issues relating to family violence in Australia, including child abuse, spouse abuse and elder abuse, and respondents' perspectives on these; domestic violence in immigrant groups; Indigenous family violence; and the unique challenges facing Australia in the effort to end family violence.
