    Conference Paper
    The paper is based on research into the use of Domestic Violence Protection Orders by Indigenous women in Queensland, and their effectiveness as a response to family violence particularly in rural and remote areas. The paper draws on a number of case studies which highlight the problems in accessing legal support and protection. The paper also noted the problems associated with developing an evidence base because of the limitations of relevant government information on the use of domestic and family violence orders.

    Conference Paper
    This paper explores the different approaches to juvenile justice across Australian jurisdictions, and examines whether or not Australia is compliant with international standards. Compliance is assessed according to three principles: the use of imprisonment and detention as a last resort, the availability and use of diversion options, and the prohibition against racial discrimination. The paper includes an outline of potential improvements to diversionary strategies, and the need for legislation to provide clarity and consistency.

    Conference Paper
    A raft of models and definitions of SoTL exist and the best appear to transcend disciplinary contexts, and are sufficiently robust for academics to measure scholarly practices. Critical engagement with the scholarly literature is necessary for academics to gain a realistic view of where their work practices are situated within the scholarly domain. Because academic staff are disciplinary experts they are best placed to comment on whether the models of scholarship describe the scholarship of learning and teaching within the context of their own disciplines as well as within the confines of the Australian higher education sector. This paper pushes the existing debates on reconciling what evidence of scholarship in the disciplines actually is and what is considered valid, and in doing so uncovers why the process of reconciliation, between current practice and supporting evidence, remains elusive. Higher education academics need to identify and reconcile tacit disciplinary knowledge with their SoTL approach in order to unpack the complexity and value of their practices. Enabling academic staff to annotate their activities, roles and accomplishments and then map these items onto the various models of scholarship will enrich the status of scholarship of teaching and learning within the higher education sector.
