dc.description.notesOverview:This Australian paper explores formal and informal help seeking behaviours by victims of domestic violence, to identify opportunities for intervention and to improve responses to those reaching out for assistance.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: Drawing on data from the International Violence Against Women survey conducted by the Australian Institute of Criminology in 2002 – 03, the author found that victims of intimate partner violence are more likely to seek formal help if: they have children with the abusive partner; are married to the abusive partner; have used substances as a way of coping with abuse; or when the abusive partner has previously received counselling for his behaviour. Further, if the abuse increases in its severity or is so severe that the victim’s life is threatened, seeking help from formal agencies became increasingly likely.<br/ ><br/ >The study found that victims often seek help initially from informal sources, such as friends and family. The experience victims have with informal sources often influences their decisions to seek formal help.<br/ ><br/ >The paper concludes with a number of implications for policy and practice in terms of intervening with victims of domestic violence.en
