Some have had children forcibly removed, and many women are experiencing levels of self-harm and suicidal ideation that would be completely unacceptable if identified in the outside world.

Research from the ��������Vlog of Adelaide Law School has identified key gaps in these programs and generated recommendations for maximising their accessibility.

In Adelaide, the number of days when outdoor temperatures soared above 40°C increased from only two days per year in 2000 to six days per year in 2020.
