Monash University SVRT: Responding to Sexual Violence in At-Risk Patients Workshop

Posted Friday 16 May 2025 | Monash University

Responding to Sexual Violence in At-Risk Patients focuses on care for patients who are more at-risk of experiencing sexual violence because of individual or multiple factors such as mental and/or physical disabilities, sex-work, living in institutional or aged care, LGBTQI+ or cultural and linguistically diverse status. Many of these individuals also face barriers in seeking help. Health Practitioners need to be able to recognise and assess at-risk individuals and identify indicators of sexual violence. 

This unit will equip health practitioners with appropriate skills to respond effectively and empathetically to disclosures and to provide immediate medical care and relevant referral pathways to support recovery.

The face-to-face training is accredited as a 7-hour activity and is available to AHPRA registered and Australia-based practicing health practitioners at no cost.
