The research involved three elements:

1. A review of the published literature.
2. A jurisdictional scan of the MBCP landscape, comprising a review of grey literature and contact with a representative from each jurisdiction (i.e. state/territory).
3. Focus groups and in-depth interviews with –
   • correctional staff from South Australia and Victoria;
   • community providers from Western Australia and Victoria; and
   • female partners of program participants.
