Notes:	While services have been assisting women who have been victims of domestic violencefor many years, it has only been in recent times, that children exposed to domesticviolence have begun to receive attention by service providers as clients in their ownright. A number of specialised programs have now been designed to meet the needs ofthese children by domestic violence services and agencies that have a child protectionor child welfare/family support focus. This paper aims to describe the types ofprograms currently in operation across Australia which cater specifically for the needsof children who have been exposed to domestic violence by analysing programs listedon the Child Abuse Prevention Programs Database developed by the National ChildProtection Clearinghouse. A number of suggestions are made with regard to themeans by which therapeutic responses and research in this area could be enhanced.
