Family & Society Plus is a database containing articles from published and unpublished material on research, policy, and practice issues about, or of relevance to, Australian families. It is based on an indexing and abstracting database produced by the Australian Institute of Family Studies, but with the addition of some full-text material.
Source documents range from journals and conference papers to annual reports, bibliographies, and theses.
Subject coverage includes: children and child development; adolescence and youth; the aged and services to the aged; marriage and divorce; adoption and foster care; child abuse and domestic violence; child care; family economics; counselling and therapy; employment and unemployment; family law; health; housing; minority families; population studies; social change and social issues; social and community services; and sexual attitudes and behaviours.
From January 1995 the focus on child abuse and child protection issues was expanded because at this time the National Child Protection Clearing House was established at the Institute.
