It’s a quiet day at the Men's Referral Service (MRS), run by the organisation No to Violence in Melbourne.
Normally, around 35 counsellors are at the ready to receive calls from men around Australia in order to assist them with taking responsibility for their violent behaviour.
Today, there are just a handful of counsellors scattered about and socially distanced as they make a gradual return to the office from home. Chatter hangs in a friendly lilt, while others are engaged in their screens and the conversations from their headsets.
