Sexual violence occurs frequently in Australia. Statistics show 22% of women and 6.1% of men have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15 and can have devastating, cumulative and long-lasting impacts on their lives.
General Practitioners have a critical role to identify, report and respond to sexual violence, as many victims and survivors have extensive contact with general practice throughout their lives.
Join us on line and learn about recognising the signs of sexual violence in a primary care setting, learn how to respond appropriately and know what referral pathways are. Our experienced GP educators and specialist sexual/child abuse linker will deliver a session that will equip you with the tools and resources to better identify patients impacted by sexual violence and how to appropriately respond to disclosures and support services available.
