Stewart hit his partner when he was drunk - he wants to change | ABC News

Being a perpetrator of intimate-partner violence is a label Stewart will carry with him for the rest of his life.
It's a fact that weighs heavy on the Canberra man, who the ABC has given a pseudonym for legal reasons.
He has pleaded guilty to multiple charges and is now under strict bail conditions and cannot contact his partner or go to the house they shared.
Services are available for men like Stewart who want to change, but they may face long waits.
Counselling is available through all the usual channels, including Lifeline, Menslink and Relationships Australia - though men will face at least a five-week wait for an initial consultation with a counsellor from the latter.
