Notes:	This article is an abridged and edited version of a speech given to the National Domestic Violence Conference in Perth, August 1996. Interagency work is increasingly being used to tackle the problem of domestic violence and involves the co-ordination of services and improving communication among agencies. Looks at the situation in the U.K as an example of utilising this method to achieve change. Identifies 4 ‘types’ of interagency practice including networking, domestic violence fora, domestic violence projects and multi systems intervention. Provides a critique of interagency activity and the differing perspectives as to whether or not it is effective. Concludes with the view that interagency work is only one mechanism for addressing domestic violence, one which compliments single agency action, and co ordinates strategies.
