Activity details
Provide further research funding with research partner Phoenix Australia to extend various bodies of work to develop a veteran-specific evidence base, such as an intimate partner violence (IPV) research project focusing on non-physical forms of IPV.
Implementation progress update
The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) has commissioned Monash University as part of a partnership project with Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS) for the Foundations for Family and Domestic Violence reporting among military personnel and veterans project. The project is currently underway and aims to identify, profile and inform improvements in data related to family and domestic violence among Australian Defence Force personnel and veterans. Findings are due September 2026. For more information see Using data to respond to domestic and family violence perpetration within military and veteran families.
Future research, including further work on IPV, including non-physical forms of IPV, will be progressed as part of DVA's new Veteran and Family - Learning and Innovation Network of Knowledge (VF-LINK) research and evaluation model. This is expected to be established in the third quarter of 2025 (July to September 2025).
