dc.description.notesThis paper examines issues relating to ‘welfare to work’ and the ability of marginalised workers to secure quality employment, especially those facing domestic violence, by looking at the connection between domestic violence, sustainable employment and the WorkChoices:provisions in Australia. A literature review is provided on the link between domestic violence and poorer employment consequences for those who have experienced domestic violence, such as higher job turnover rates and increased physical and mental health problems leading to decreased job performance. It notes the lack of research in Australia examining this issue, especially the longer-term impacts of domestic violence and career development interventions as a remedy. Sustainable employment is argued to be part of the way to break the cycle of poverty for domestic violence victims. It explores career development theory and its application to the sustainable employment of women who have experienced domestic violence. Social Cognitive Career Theory is explored and applied to long-term career planning and achievement of goals to create the conditions for sustainable employment for victims of domestic violence. It is argued that the benefits from a long-term focus on career development may be undermined by the provisions of WorkChoices:which favour contingent, short-term and partial conditions of employmenten
