Notes:	This reports the outcomes from the 4 stages of the Goodna Domestic Violence Community Research Project initiated by the Goodna Domestic Violence Taskforce and conducted by the researchers from the Community Service and Research Centre at the University of Queensland. Action research methodology was used, along with quantitative and qualitative data from domestic violence records kept by various organisations, interviews and focus groups with service providers and community members, as well as analysis of national and state models and statistical analysis for Goodna/Gailes. The report is divided into 5 sections, with suggestions and models at the end of each section for the Taskforce’s consideration. The last section pulls together key themes, including key models and recommendations. The 5 sections include the following. Section 1:contains the Commonwealth and State policies and programmes addressing domestic violence. The Commonwealth Partnerships Against Domestic Violence (PADV) and the Queensland project, Coordinating Efforts to Address Violence Against Women (CEAVAW), are studied. Various models to prevent domestic violence including an analysis of best practice integrated service approaches are looked at. It suggests an Integrated Community Response based on a Duluth model for Goodna/Gailes. It suggests that if the Courts (Ipswich and Inala) and the major ethnic communities were included, then all significant service providers would be able to form an integrated system to address domestic violence in Goodna/Gailes. Section 2:summarises the statistics on domestic violence victims and perpetrators and the services available. Gaps in data gathering are identified. Some recommendations include: a common screening instrument (similar to the Queensland Health Initiative); risk assessment for perpetrators in rehabilitation groups; common data gathering forms to include ethnicity, relationship status, children who witness among others; a central database for Goodna/Gailes DV information for members of the Integrated Response; and ongoing training for service providers. Section 3:presents what the service providers in Goodna/Gailes and the wider Ipswich community had to say. An environmental scan, a thematic analysis of interviews and focus groups are provided. Section 5:pulls together the key issues and gives an outline of an integrated response to domestic violence. Issues around prevention, early intervention, support for victims, building resilience and protective factors are considered. Recommendations are also given.
