COVID-19 is no exception, with pandemic control measures restricting people&rsquo;s movements and confining many women and children to homes with their abusers. In April 2020 the UN Secretary-General labelled violence against women the &quot;shadow pandemic&quot;. In Australia, like elsewhere in the world, restrictions introduced to counter the spread of COVID-19 have exacerbated the gap between domestic and family violence service demand and the availability and accessibility of support services for those experiencing and using domestic violence.</p><p>AIM</p><p>This research investigates women&rsquo;s experiences of violence and help-seeking under the COVID-19 restrictions as well as the impact on the wellbeing of practitioners who provide support during this time.</p><p>METHODS</p><p>This mixed methods research brings together the experiences of practitioners responding to family violence during the coronavirus lockdowns via a multi-wave practitioner survey and focus groups as well as service provider data. This research is being carried out in partnership with Domestic Violence Victoria, No to Violence and inTouch Multicultural Centre Against Family Violence. The Queensland Domestic Violence Services Network, Women&rsquo;s Safety NSW and the Victorian Crime Statistics Agency have also shared data for this project.</p><p>SIGNIFICANCE</p><p>This research will help us to understand women&rsquo;s experiences of violence and help-seeking under the COVID-19 restrictions as well as the impact on health and social care workers who provide support during this time. We will share the results widely to help governments and other organisations understand what women experiencing violence need now and to prepare for the future.</p><p>FUNDING BODY</p><p>Funded by Monash University as part of the &quot;Melbourne Experiment&quot; project</p><p>PROJECT START DATE</p><p>March 2020</p><p>EXPECTED COMPLETION DATE</p><p>January 2022</p>en
