Show Notes

Domestic and family violence is one of the top reasons people seek support from homelessness services. One woman is killed every week as a result of domestic violence. This threat to safety means women and children are forced to leave their homes, often with nowhere to go.

We talk to Mark (OzCare worker) about how his life experiences have led to his work helping people in crisis, and Tom (Whoopeedo Crew; musician) who, for the past four years, has captained the Whoopeedo Crew: a songwriting and performance group that helps people put their stories to music.

Produced by Kim Stewart, Craig Garrett, Renee Jones, and Nic Huntington.
