Notes:	This report summarises findings of a study in which 1864 women living in an intimate heterosexual relationship in Queensland were interviewed over the phone in 2009 about their experiences with intimate partner violence (IPV). The study aimed to identify the prevalence and nature of IPV in Queensland, factors related to women’s experiences of IPV and impacts of IPV on women’s health status. Detailed findings are presented which include different types of violence, correlated factors with experiences of IPV, impact on women’s mental health, reasons women remained with violent partners and help-seeking. [Appended From Merge Migration] Intimate partner violence, also referred to as intimate partner abuse, includes all types of physical and non-physical violence and acts of abuse between intimate partners. This study focuses on intimate partner abuse among cohabiting, heterosexual partners living in the state of Queensland. Specifically, the study is concerned with the abuse of women by their current marriage or de facto male partners. Due to the particular geographic, economic and cultural characteristics of parts of Queensland many families are affected by atypical work schedules, periodic separation and isolation. Each of these may be expected to impact on the quality of relationships and, potentially, on the experience of intimate partner abuse.
