Workers in Victoria’s health, community services, justice, education and training sectors are being urged to complete a new workforce census to help build a deeper understanding of issues surrounding family violence in our communities.
Family Safety Victoria launched the census as an opportunity for workers who come into direct contact with victims or perpetrators to highlight the issues they face.
“A range of workforces play important and different roles in preventing and responding to family violence and violence against women,” Family Safety Victoria said.
“The findings aim to build a deeper understanding about the different workforces that intersect with family violence,” it said.
“To ensure that you are supported to respond to women and children experiencing family violence and that there is a no wrong door for victims who need help or advice.”
Family Safety Victoria said the census took no more than 15-20 minutes to complete and was anonymous, with data de-identified.
“There is a separate census for family violence and primary prevention workers and you will be asked some initial questions to make sure you are led to the most relevant survey for you,” Family Safety Victoria said.
The census can be completed online at this PS News link.
