By bravely sharing her story through media and public speaking Rosie has compelled Australian’s to recognise that family violence can happen to anyone, regardless of social and economic status. Victoria’s Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay has praised Rosie, calling her “the most remarkable victim” he has ever met for her efforts in raising public awareness and putting domestic violence on the national agenda.
