Notes:	Presented at the 8th Australasian Conference on Child Abuse & Neglect, 'One child's Reality - Everyone's Responsibility', Melbourne, Nov. 2001. Outlines the key features and benefits of an innovative model of service delivery for victims of domestic violence and their families. An overview of some of the problems children exposed to domestic violence have reported is provided and the roles and responsibilities of women's refuges are considered. Trish's Terraces, a 'medium security refuge' in Victoria, is then used to illustrate the benefits of developing partnerships with child protection and housing services. Some of the myths regarding the impact of domestic violence on children are dispelled and a summary of the evaluation and findings of the cooperative project undertaken by Trish's Terraces is presented.
