The Cost of Child Abuse in Australia (2008).
a joint research report by Access Economics, Australian Childhood Foundation and Child Abuse Prevention Australia at Monash University http://www.monash.edu.au/news/newsline/story/1373rch
The first comprehensive, national study of the costs of child abuse and neglect in Australia has found that child abuse and neglect costs Australians ten times more than obesity. The report has also found that the number of cases of abuse in our community may be five times higher than the official figures. It found that the real cost of child abuse to the Australian community in 2007 was $10.7 billion, and could be as high as $30.1 billion, including the monetary value of the pain and suffering that they experience.
