Monash Law Clinics will explore how future planning and guardianship laws might be used to identify family violence and improve safety for victims of family violence by restricting coercive behaviour by the perpetrator. The research concentrates on a specific form of family violence and will look at the role Health Justice Partnerships play in promoting preventative legal practices.
