PDFThe right to choose: enhancing best practice in responding to sexual assault in Queensland

18 October 2010This report proposes an evidence-based, holistic response to sexual assault in Queensland. It advocates a system designed to enable Queensland to move toward the reduction, and ultimate elimination, of sexual violence. This requires viewing sexual assault as primarily a social, rather than an individual or medical, problem.

See also Queensland sexual assault services (2010). Limiting choices: critical analysis of proposed ‘hub’ model. Addendum to “The right to choose”.
