dc.description.notesReports on the evaluation of the Tamworth Domestic Violence Project, which operated from February to November 2001 in the north-west region of New South Wales. A civilian Project Officer (PO) was placed in Tamworth Police Station to contact the people who experienced domestic violence and to provide support, counselling and referral. This proactive scheme approached the victims instead of merely offering the service. Around 33 per cent of the potential clients were assisted, 30 per cent rejected the service and 21 per cent ignored the telephone calls, letters or home visits. The people who received the service found that the civil character of the PO was less intimidating and more accessible than police officers, and that the assistance made a difference to their dealing of the violence. Police were also satisfied with the outcomes of the project.en
