What should you do if you witness domestic violence in Australia?
- Contact the police or relevant support services, as domestic violence is a serious crime in Australia
- Ignore it as it is a private family matter
- Report it only if you know the victim personally
- Attempt to resolve it yourself between the parties
Why this is the correct answer
Domestic violence is a serious criminal matter in Australia, not a private family issue, and anyone witnessing it should contact police or support services without hesitation. Australia has a zero-tolerance approach to family violence, and both the law and community values clearly support intervening to protect victims.
