‘Til the violence ends – Episode 2: Domestic violence and tenancy

This is the second episode in our podcast series exploring domestic violence in Australia.  We will explore the legal issues people experience, the services available to provide support and speak to a wide range of people working in the sector.

In this second episode, Bridget from the Community Legal Education Branch speaks with Lehana De Silva, solicitor Aboriginal Support at the Tenants’ Union of NSW about what you can do if you are experiencing domestic and family or sexual violence and you want to leave a tenancy.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which this episode was made and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
