“…Because of evidence that violence against women differs in pattern and nature between remote and non‐remote communities, 17 , 19 , 20 we stratified the analyses according to the remoteness area classes in the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (major cities, inner regional, outer regional, remote, and very remote), with the exclusion of “migratory”. We created two strata: mothers residing in remote and very remote communities were examined separately from those residing in cities and regional areas.…”

Objective: To identify individual and household factors associated with violence among Australian Indigenous women with dependent children. Design and participants: Univariate and multivariable analysis of data from the 2002 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, stratified by area. Main outcome measure: Self‐reported experience of being a victim of violence in the previous year. Results: One in four Indigenous women living with dependent children younger than 15 years reported being victims of violence in the previous year; this corresponds to an estimated 24 221 Indigenous mothers (95% CI, 21 507–26 935) nationwide. Violence was more prevalent in regional areas and cities than remote areas. In remote areas, mothers who had been removed from their natural families during childhood had nearly threefold greater odds of being victims of violence (odds ratio [OR], 2.90; 95% CI, 1.82–4.61); in non‐remote areas, the odds were 72% greater (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.23–2.39). Older maternal age (≥ 45 years) was associated with lower odds of experiencing violence in both non‐remote areas (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.25–0.60) and remote areas (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.30–0.70). Women with partners residing in the household faced lower odds of violence in both non‐remote areas (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.41–0.72) and remote areas (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.32–0.67). Conclusions: The prevalence of violence against Indigenous mothers with young children is alarmingly high across remote and non‐remote areas. This study identified distinctive characteristics of victims, but further research is needed to assess potential risk factors, such as history of removal from natural family.

“…In this respect, it might be worth considering whether, in future waves, carers should also be asked if they give financial assistance to people outside of their immediate family. In addition, however, the relatively higher cost of living in remote areas compared with urban areas may be a factor here (Hunter 2006a).…”

“…This review seeks to highlight the opportunities for further research in an important, but often misunderstood, area of public policy. It draws substantially on a ANU E-press Monograph, which provided a more complete interrogation of the 2002 NATSISS than is possible in the overview presented here (Hunter 2006a).…”
