TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - "You can't meet everyone's needs after-hours": after-hours domestic and family violence services in rural and remote areas JO - Violence against women A1 - Hanley, Natalia A1 - Macphail, Catherine SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Domestic and family violence is a significant issue in the Murrumbidgee region of New South Wales, Australia, mirroring national and international concerns about gender-based violence. Generally, there are known barriers associated with providing domestic and family violence (DFV) services in rural and remote communities; however, little research has considered the specific service needs and service barriers in the after-hours period. This is crucial. The already limited rural and remote services available during business hours are further constricted in the after-hours period. This article reports on research about after-hours service need and service challenges in six target communities in the Murrumbidgee region.
