During the COVID pandemic, it has been very challenging to make sure that all women and children—and men, for that matter—have access to timely and appropriate information to make sure that they can get the support that they need should they find themselves in a situation of domestic violence. A number of initiatives have been put in place, but one of the most critical information campaigns that we launched during this time is the Help is Here campaign. The critical message of the Help is Here campaign is, firstly, to make sure that people know where they are able to get access to the support they need should they find themselves in a situation of needing that but also to reinforce the message that tough times do not excuse tough times at home. The Help is Here campaign has used a number of different types of media and traditional media, but particularly we wanted to use more innovative ways. I'd like to thank the supermarkets—Woolies, Coles, ALDI and Metcash—for making sure that they made available the information in women's restrooms and the like so that women could get it.
