Grace Holton may only be 17 years old, but she is determined to make a difference for Australians affected by domestic violence.
Key points:
Domestic violence advocates are calling for more outreach support services in regional Australia, with current services stretched to the limit
Many refuge shelters in regional Australia are at capacity, leaving many domestic violence survivors with nowhere to go
Advocates say everyone needs to play a role in changing the culture and calling out domestic violence
Grace's mother Jessica Kupsch was violently killed by her partner in 2012.
Matthew Patrick Tunks is serving a 23-year jail sentence for murdering Ms Kupsch, his de-facto partner, in a hotel room in Launceston in Tasmania's north.
Grace and her three siblings now live with their grandmother and legal guardian Donna Kupsch who said she had become a strong advocate for them.
"That's all I can do," Ms Kupsch said.
