A scoping review of the Australian and international empirical grey literature (non-commercial or academic publications) with the aim of identifying the key factors that enable smooth transitions from out-of-home care, including for Indigenous populations.
The purpose of this study was to gain deeper insight into the barriers to, and strategies for, service engagement among young people who require support from multiple services.
Few studies have examined the interplay between IPV, homelessness, and housing. Qualitative methods can provide a greater understanding of the lived experience of IPV and homelessness to identify potential solutions.

Understanding factors that support housing stability is crucial to ensure the best outcomes for young Aboriginal children and families at a critical period in the life course.
This integrative review summarises original research that explores women’s experiences of escaping domestic violence to achieve safe housing.
