Canberra, June 3 -- More than one-third of Australian men have used intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime, a landmark government report has found.
The report, which was published by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) on Tuesday, found that 35 percent of Australian men aged 18-65 had used IPV as of 2022, up from 24 percent in 2014.
The data was collected by the AIFS Longitudinal Study on Male Health, which has tracked a group of 16,000 males since 2013. An additional 10,000 males were added to the study in 2024-25.
The participants in the study, which is the largest of its kind in the world, are asked about issues such as gambling, mental health, family violence, alcohol and drug use and social connection.
