Carina officers inspired by Domestic Violence crusader
On Saturday June 29, officers from Carina Station attended Westfield Carindale Shopping Centre for a special even; women in conversation featuring an intimate conversation with Rosie Batty.
Rosie Batty with officers from Carina Station
Rosie Batty knows pain no woman should have to suffer and has become an outspoken and dynamic crusader against Domestic Violence.
Rosie has made the most of her position of influence, campaigning and advocating for necessary systemic and attitudinal change, to address the family violence epidemic.
Domestic Violence can have a significant impact not just on the victims of the violence or abuse, but those who reside in the house including children and pets.
Victims of Domestic or Family Violence can not only be left with serious physical injuries, but abuse can affect their confidence, self-esteem and ability to make clear judgements.
Children are often those who can be affected the most and exposure to Domestic and Family Violence may take away

A koality update on our friend, Poh
Remember our little friend Poh the Koala?
How much cuteness can you bear?
Here’s the conclusion to the story.
When we located Poh, RSPCA advised he was in a critical state with injuries consistent with being hit by a car, resulting in 20ml of blood being drained from his lungs.
After almost two weeks recovering with the RSPCA, Poh was given the tick of approval to be released – finding his feet and his own territory, after being tagged by RSPCA.
Holland Park officers were fortunate to join RSPCA when Poh was released into a habitat close to where he was rescued.
As police officers, it’s not often we come across a feel good story with a happy ending and it certainly put a smile on our faces, knowing we were able to play a part in saving his life.
Be free little Poh and we wish you well!

These include partnerships and discussions with local communities and cultural groups as well as government departments, non-government organisations and other Australian law enforcement agencies.
