    Prevention, Powered by Volunteers (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Australia's answer to domestic and family violence has mostly been rescue, pulling people out after the damage is done. Vital work, but it doesn't stop the water rising. This episode is about working upstream. Lou Hayes is the founder of CQ Healthy Families, a volunteer-run charity in Central Queensland doing the quiet work of holding a community's safety net together: a fuel voucher when a family is getting out, emergency accommodation, a security door fixed, and respectful relationships educat

To open the season, Kirrily sits down with Professor Tim Moore, Deputy Director of the Australian Catholic University's Institute of Child Protection Studies and one of the researchers behind the Australian Child Maltreatment Study, the first research of its kind to capture how many Australians experienc
