In this episode of There’s No Place Like Home we introduce you to Carly. A proud Wiradjuri woman, Carly is the CEO and co-founder of Deadly Connections, a not-for-profit organisation that breaks the cycle of disadvantage and trauma for First Nations people through transformative justice.

In her work, Carly taps into wisdom borne of her own lived experience as a domestic and family violence survivor. And she does that work alongside the man who once perpetrated violence against her, Keenan Mundine.

Together, Carly and Keenan use their experience and expertise to help other First Nations people transform their lives for the better.

This is a particularly complex and nuanced episode of There’s No Place Like Home. In it, we explore a restorative justice framework and how it might offer a more responsive and fulfilling outcome for some. It’s about giving victim-survivors back their autonomy and power, when a court process might leave them feeling frustrated and out of control.

In this episode we’ve been led by Carly herself. She demonstrates both remarkable empathy anddistance from her own situation. Carly thinks about the violence committed against her in the context of Keenan’s childhood and intergenerational trauma.

If you have experienced or are at risk of domestic and family violence and/or sexual assault, you can call the national counselling service 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732). In an emergency, or if you are not feeling safe, always call the police on 000.

This is the story that starts where others end. After the headlines fade. After the crisis hotline call ends. After you walk out of the shelter doors. When survivors face the brutal, yet hope-filled work of rebuilding from scratch.

We know that leaving an abusive relationship can cost everything. Your home. Your money. Your job. Your kids. Your health. The life you thought you'd have. Putting the pieces back together can take years, sometimes a lifetime. And what comes next is rarely discussed, poorly understood and absolutely critical. 

Recovering from domestic abuse and family violence. It’s not just about surviving, but thriving.

There's No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing reveals the innovative programs across Australia looking beyond the immediate crisis. This season, meet the mother rediscovering joy with her children after their perpetrator robbed them of it for years, the survivor turning her pain into a career to help others escape and the local heroes building safe houses to create spaces where women can finally experience "this huge sense of freedom”. 

For the first time, watch these powerful discussions on video or listen as audio. Hosted by Sally Spicer and available wherever you get your podcasts. Made possible with support from CommBank Next Chapter.
