Show Notes
Domestic and family violence services in New South Wales are overwhelmed, with a 22% increase in new referrals and a 12% decrease in workforce. This leads to a backlog of cases, with two out of every three new cases unable to get assigned to a caseworker. Frontline workers face burnout due to the emotional toll and systemic issues. The state government has allocated $2.5 million for workforce strategy, but advocates call for a 50% funding increase to meet the demand.
