Social work report
Name: Mitchell Parker
Address: 2 Holt Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia
Date of Birth: 25 October 1984
Court: Federal Court
Background information:
Mitchell has shared her horrible experience with her male partner during her live in
period. She was subjected to physical and mental abuse on daily basis. She had to leave her
house and the court has to consider her situation as her partner still threatening her. She is
suffering from mental depression and has to join in the counseling classes.
Record of contract:
A social program has been arranged to point out the social condition of the women and
Mitchell has represented her at the program. The initial contact has been made with Mitchell that
day. After that day, four seating have been organized with her and each seating continued for
three long hour. The horrible experience of Mitchell during that period and her urge to get rid of
that situation influenced me a lot. She had overcome the trauma to certain extent but I think we
need to raise our voice against the same and make a strong protest for the grief condition of the
women in the modern Australia. Sufficient consideration and intervention of the court is required
in this case. Court needs to peruse the documents submitted before it and has to consider the
medical report and copy of complaints made by the victim in this case.

Social History:
Mitchell was born in Melbourne in the year 1984 and she was third child in her family.
She came to New South Wales for work and she met Peter in the office. They both came closer
to each other and started to live in together. It has been known from her that Peter was drug
addict and his dose had been increased when he lost his job. It has been observed that Mitchell
has to bear all the expenses and had to take care of all the domestic matters. Peter did not try for
another job and he used to beat Mitchell during the drug inducement stage. During one of her
interviews, it has been contended by Mitchell that her partner had attempted to intercourse with
her against her will and in case of any objection, he beat her bitterly. She had made two police
complaint and Peter was apologized for his activities. Mitchell had forgiven him due to love and
affection. However, the situation has not changed yet rather the amount of torture was increased.
It has further been observed that Mitchell had conceived during that period and she had to abort
her child due to continuous pressure made by her partner and she had undergone into mental
trauma and it was hard for her to lead her life with her partner.
During that period, sudden death of her mother had dragged her towards the melancholic
situation and that affected her mental state to many aspects. It has been contended by her that she
has developed mental depression at that state and lost her job. She felt her as a lone and detached
woman in the globe. When she understood that such violence would not be stopped, she had left
her home, started to live separately, and joined counseling class.
Education and work experience:
Mitchell had a bright educational background and she had graduated from Victoria
University in the year 2008. Her subject was applied computer science and she got a chance to
go further with her studies. However, she got the job within that period and could not continue
