Victim-Survivor consultations on a new health worker initial response to disclosures of domestic violence resource
Are you a victim survivor of family or domestic violence (in any state or territory in Australia) who has been asked questions about domestic and family violence when accessing a health service?
The University of Sydney is working with the NSW Ministry of Health Prevention of Violence Abuse and Neglect team to develop a new resource to support health workers to respond to disclosures of domestic violence in ways that are trauma informed and support safety. The resource will form part of the Domestic Violence Routine Screening program across New South Wales health services. As part of the resource development, a consultation is being held with victim-survivors. The consultation will explore what good responses look like and gather feedback on women’s experiences of being screened. If you have been asked questions about domestic violence when you have accessed a healthcare service, please read the information sheet and questions to ask your self before applying.
