Family Violence Royal Commission hearings conclude

The Royal Commission into Family Violence completed its second round of public hearings in October, with the objective of taking a bigger picture view.

Another batch of submissions has recently been uploaded to the Commission website, including Domestic Violence Victoria’s four submissions, as well as supplementary and revised expert witness statements. Many anonymous submissions have also been uploaded, including from the lay witnesses that gave powerful evidence during the first hearings.

The Commissioners will hand down their findings on 29 February 2016. For more information, visit the Commission’s website.
