Acknowledgements

This book could not have been written without the contributions of many current and former workers, activists and policy makers in the field of domestic violence. Many people have committed their time and energy along the way. Fiona McCormack and Alison Macdonald from Domestic Violence Victoria (DVVic) deserve special thanks for their sustained commitment and enthusiasm throughout the research and publication process. The other original project reference group members, Kathy Russell, Vig Geddes and Wendy Austin, also deserve acknowledgement and thanks.

This book would also not have been possible without the input of the many interviewees who willingly participated in the research; to them we express our sincerest thanks. These stories provided us with the inspiration and encouragement to finish this work.

A number of individuals warrant special thanks for their support and assistance during the life of the project; these include Wendy Austin, Vig Geddes, David Green, Keran Howe, Judy Johnson, Julie Oberin, Rose Solomon, Ulla Svensson and Jean Taylor. In particular we are immensely grateful to Wendy Austin, who was instrumental in initiating the project, and whose tireless commitment to documenting this history was reflected in her provision of support, resources, detailed feedback and much personal encouragement.

We also acknowledge the Australian Research Council for a linkage grant (LPO562154) awarded to Suellen Murray, Judith Smart and industry partner DVVic, which funded much of the research for this book. Funding assistance to support the publication of this book also came from La Trobe University and DVVic. Thanks also to those who assisted us in locating photos for the book: Jan Reiher, Peter Lindeman of Fairfax, Harry Tanous of AAP, Keran Howe of Women with Disabilities Victoria, and Julie Oberin of Annie North Womens Refuge. Carolyn Frohmader from Women with Disabilities Australia gave permission for us to use an image, and we also thank her.

Jacqui would like to thank Suellen Murray and Judith Smart for their impeccable supervision and unflagging support during the initial research, and for their ongoing commitment to transforming it into this book. Jacqui also thanks her colleagues in Social Work and Social Policy at La Trobe University Bendigo, including Di Cox, Fiona Gardner, Jennifer Lehmann and Natasha Long, for their friendship and support. Noel Murray generously reviewed drafts of this work and maintained his unwavering support throughout the project. Suellen would like to acknowledge Professor David Hayward, former Dean of the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies at RMIT University, for his support in honouring the award of research leave that allowed her time to work on this book. Finally, Suellen warmly thanks Libby Best for her ongoing support of her academic endeavours.
