The depth of the domestic violence issue in South Australia has been revealed following the publication of findings from a significant royal commission.

This year-long Royal Commission into Domestic, Family, and Sexual Violence resulted in 136 proposals aimed at addressing the crisis effectively.

“The rate remains alarmingly high, with one in four women over 15 in Australia experiencing some form of abuse,” stated Commissioner Natasha Stott Despoja.

Peter Malinauskas’ government immediately adopted seven of the recommendations put forth by the commission, (Nine)

Over the past 13 months, the commission has heard from thousands of people to inform the recommendations.

The lived experiences of victim-survivors have been compiled into a report that runs alongside the formal document.

“Some of the stories have been harrowing as you said premier, heartbreaking, and some will haunt me and my team forever,” Stott Despoja said.

Malinauskas said the government would aim to respond to all of the recommendations by the end of the year.

The statewide inquiry was triggered in 2023 after four women were killed across the state in just one week.

“It’s important to remember how we got here,” Malinauskas said.

“While the outcomes of this royal commission cannot undo the past or bring loved ones back, there is hope that knowing all efforts are being made to prevent such tragedies will offer some comfort.”
