A domestic violence register is set to be trialed for the first time in Australia following the death of thirty eight women so far this year alone in violent circumstances.

The register aims to identify men who have been convicted of domestic abuse and protect women by providing them with details of their violent past.

According to the Daily Telegraph, parents will be able to ask police to inform their daughters about their boyfriend's violent history or friends who think a woman is in an abusive relationship can request information about a man's past to be disclosed to her.

The new scheme is modelled on the UK domestic violence register and will be rolled out across NSW before it is introduced nationwide.

Domestic violence is an issue that is at the front of public awareness and experts believe this year's elevated numbers just highlight how much more needs to be done to protect women against violence.

According to Counting Dead Women, a group tracking the number of women killed by violence, 38 women have died this year alone in Australia.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, CEO of Domestic Violence NSW, Moo Baulch, said that usually between 50 to 80 women are violently murdered in Australia every year.

She believes there has been a huge shift in how violence against women is seen and how people are more aware of its strong presence.

This comes from the coverage of huge high-profile cases this year, such as the gruesome murders of Leila Alavi in January, Prabha Arun Kuma in March, Masa Vukotic also in March and Stephanie Scott in April.

'We’re seeing a focus on it that hasn't existed before and definitely more public awareness,' Ms Baulch told Daily Mail Australia.

'We need to really start thinking about prevention in Australia and part of that is healthy relationship education in schools and really having the stuff embedded in the curriculum.'

Ms Baulch said education is about engaging boys at a young age and shifting their attitudes towards violence against women.

'We also need to have well-resourced responses as well so a really well-funded system so that people are able to seek support when they are in a violent relationship,' she said.

Ms Baulch said having Rosie Batty as Australian of the Year has been a huge platform to get the domestic violence conversation up and running.

'We've got an amazing spokeswoman who is able to talk really eloquently about her experiences and her experiences are not dissimilar to many other women,' she said.

'I think that in itself created another level of awareness about which is really important.'

Hairdresser, 26-year-old Leila Alavi was brutally stabbed to death inside her car allegedly with a pair of scissors in a car park in Auburn on January 17.

Ms Alavi had moved to Australia from Iran and was studying at Granville TAFE for her future.

Ms Alavi had reportedly lived at a women’s refuge before she was killed and had allegedly taken out an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order against her estranged husband after alleged years of turmoil.

Her husband was charged with her murder.

Her death came as figures revealed that almost half of all apprehended violence orders were breached in NSW in the 12 months previous to September last year.

Of the 26,491 orders issued as many as 11,788 were breached.

In a random act of violence, Prabha Arun Kumar, a 41-year-old mother and IT professional, died on March 7, after she was seriously injured by a 'sharp edge instrument' on a public walkway between Argyle Street and Amos Street in Parramatta, just 300 metres from her home.

Police released chilling CCTV footage of Mrs Kumar walking alone just minutes before she was fatally stabbed while on the phone to her husband, who lives in India with their 10-year-old daughter.

She mentioned noticing a suspicious man before her husband heard her screaming and the line went dead.

Ms Baulch said politicians and community members need to make a stance against this type of random violence.

'We really need to be using language that is not reinforcing that victim-blaming message that we see all too often,' she said.

'It’s part of the community and the media and leaders of our country to shift our language about violence and really making a commitment to stop this in the long-term.'

In March of this year, Masa Vukotic was stabbed to death in suburban Melbourne.

The 17-year-old schoolgirl was allegedly murdered while walking along a path at Koonung Creek Linear Reserve in what police believe was a 'random attack'.

Masa, who only just turned 17-years-old in December, was one of three children from a Serbian family who had moved to Melbourne from Montenegro.

The country was brought to a standstill on April 5 when Leeton school teacher Stephanie Scott was allegedly killed by the school's cleaner.

Her burnt body was found five days after she went missing, just six days before she was supposed to marry her long-term love.

Ms Baulch said there has been an increase in the number of women seeking help and reporting incidents of domestic violence.

'I think we have increased community awareness so people are better at identifying abusive relationships and being able to see a difference between something that’s normal conflict within a relationship and that pattern of power and control,' she said.

'We’re calling for the government to coordinate all of the domestic violence funding because it’s scattered across lots of different portfolios at the moment.

Ms Baulch listed the preventative measures that need to be taken to stop this epidemic in its tracks.

'A really well-funded refuge support system, education in schools, specialist court support - if we could have all of that funding in one stream that would be a really powerful message to send out.

'Our leaders speaking out every time a woman dies, making a really strong statement saying Australia condemns this and we’re not going to continue on this path of allowing it to go unchecked.'

Last year in NSW, violence claimed the lives of 27 women - five more than the previous year.
