The impacts of COVID-19 and self-isolation on stress, job losses, financial strain and health concerns have increased the cases of domestic and family violence (DFV).
Primary care providers, including General practitioners (GPs), practice managers, practice nurses and administration staff, all play an important role in often being the first point of contact for people who are experiencing DFV.
As a result of the burden of harm caused by DFV, and in recognition of the important role primary care can play in identifying and responding to DFV, Brisbane North PHN received a grant provided by the Department of Justice and Attorney-General. This funding specifically recognises the pandemic has resulted in a rise in demand and increase in complexity around sexual, domestic and family violence and support services.
What is the project?
This Domestic and Family Violence project aims to build capacity of frontline primary care teams to better recognise, respond and refer patients at risk or experiencing DFV to appropriate local specialist support and services.

Your individual responses will remain anonymous and will help in the evaluation of the training. A general summary will be submitted to an accrediting body, such as RACGP.
