Are you a healthcare worker working in Australia who is exposed to victim/survivors of sexual violence? If so, this course is for you. 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.
