The new Rudd Labor Government’s approach to domestic/family violence and homelessness has the capacity to radically address decades of neglect in these fields. This paper explores the potential impact of the Homelessness White Paper and the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women. In particular it examines what impact the new approach may have on the incidence of domestic/family violence and the demand for crisis accommodation. It also discusses the impacts on the specialist service provider sector and what risks may need to be addressed.
