Yahoo Groups
Despite being a skilled internet researcher, when I searched for support groups for abused men online, there was very little to find. Literally, nothing in Australia only 3 years ago.
Hopefully, this list will save someone else the weeks of despair and frustration I felt.
The legal and social pressures on abused men derive from the struggles of Family Rights and Mens' Rights. The war on fathers has caused innumerable casualties of abused men who will never have their rights recognized; and disabled men of all ages, skill levels, and experience who are discarded.
The blatant hate-mongering towards fathers in Australia, as illustrated in this site funded by the Australian Government and the Univ of New South Wales, has come to include the issues of abused men and disabled men.
I've tried to include active groups and avoid those with few members that are inactive. If anyone knows of a group, website or blog that should be included, please post it as a Comment to this post.
Many these Yahoo groups have websites. They all have links to local or regional support groups that may or may not exist. The Australian government only funds support groups for women.
The facts speak for themselves:
There are 2500+ funded shelters for women across Australia;
there are none for men, despite the many studies that show at least 40% of domestic violence is by women, on their partners or children.
Many studies show the women are more vicious in their attacks.
Australia has no mental health system. The answer for men is simply go back to work (and pay taxes.) What system there is is for women by women, and it is crude and rudimentary, essentially a pill dispensing scheme. The assumption of guilt by allegation applies in the mental health system.
Fathers and Mens Rights in Australia
Here are two very active groups:
Fathers 4 Equality Australia Fathers 4 Equality Related Links page. About a third of these links are not active. An old copy of the active links can be found here.
Mens Rights Agency, Australia Sue and Reg Price offer support and training on dealing with the Family Courts in Brisbane. Their program offers a model for support agencies across Australia.
Fathers 4 Equality, Melbourne The Melbourne working group for father4equality, Australia.
Most of the groups below come to me by referral. Without personal experience, I can only post them here for reference.

Domestic Violence Mens Support This group is pro-male and is for all men who are victims of domestic violence. It was firstly set up for men who were hit by women but everyone is welcome. The idea is that we help, support, and encourage each other; and in turn then we get the same back. This is where the healing starts.
