Women's Refuge CEO leading 'robust' discussions with police as family harm investigations drop

The Chief Executive of Women's Refuge says police haven't yet implemented a policy to withdraw from family harm callouts.

Police did 3000 fewer police investigations of family harm last month, compared to December 2023.

Dr Ang Jury says it's not entirely accurate to compare these two months, as December is often high-volume.

But she says she has been talking about the policy with the Police Commissioner.

"We've had some robust discussions about it. Obviously, I've got concerns - and it would be fair to say that the police do as well."
