Home > Family and Sexual Violence > Our mob, our measures: Measuring success for Aboriginal victim survivors - development of a holistic, culturally relevant measure of client outcomes in Aboriginal family violence services for women and children victim survivors

About this research:

This research explores how success can be measured for Aboriginal women and children using Aboriginal family violence services. It focuses on developing a holistic, culturally relevant outcomes measure grounded in Aboriginal perspectives, recognising that women’s experiences, strengths and cultural connections are diverse. The findings will help strengthen how services – including crisis support and therapeutic programs – understand and capture meaningful outcomes for victim-survivors.
