In Australia, two in five children are exposed to domestic and family violence.

As of this week, Queensland's Child Safety reports will include domestic and family violence, and it will be represented by real-time data, which will be available to the Minister.

Sofie Formica said on 4BC Afternoons, "I think this is going to be a game changer, and I think it will paint a grim picture, but hopefully shine a light on where that help is needed."

"It is not a problem that is going to go away overnight. We know that in too many cases, it's also intergenerational, and it needs to be now at a place where we find ourselves at a crossroads and we move forward doing things very differently," Sofie continued.
