Doctors band together to take on domestic violence
They're pushing for the establishment of Australia's first domestic violence trauma recovery centre in the wake of Preethi Reddy's death
A group of front-line doctors have banded together through social media to demand better healthcare for domestic violence victims.
The Doctors Against Violence Towards Women (DAVTW) group has around 100 members, who say “they work on the ground every single day trying to affect change”.
The group is pushing for the establishment of Australia’s first domestic violence trauma recovery centre to be based in Illawarra, NSW.
They say that, while crisis support exists, ongoing health provision is failing affected women.
