Notes:	Produced by Access Economics under commission by the Office for the Status of Women, this report presents the findings, methodology and analysis of a project aimed at establishing an accurate and comprehensive estimation of the costs of domestic violence to the Australian economy, with a view to raising awareness in the community and assisting policy makers in allocating resources. The report is presented in two parts. Part One examines issues of definition, classification and prevalence, highlighting the inadequacy of data available in a range of areas, before providing estimates of the annual costs associated with seven categories of costs; pain, suffering and premature mortality, health, production, consumption, second generation, administrative and transfer costs. Directions for future research, policy and practice are also considered. In Part Two, a more detailed description of the methodology is presented and the figures relating to violence between same-sex partners, men and the impact on children witnessing violence are incorporated into the initial estimates. Issues such as temporary absenteeism from paid and unpaid work, homelessness and the long-term productivity costs of domestic violence are addressed. The findings of the project indicate that the total annual cost of domestic violence in 2002-03 was approximately $8.1 billion and that the total lifetime costs of domestic violence per victim are around $224,470.
