Description
Violence and abuse experienced by both service users and workers in home-based and community care and support services for the aged and people with disability is not a new phenomenon. Historically such violence and abuse has been significantly under-reported and its nature and prevalence under-researched.
This scoping study, conducted for WorkSafe Victoria, reports on available evidence on the nature and extent of gender-based violence in individualised disability support and aged care services in Victoria.
The study also explores what is known about the circumstances in which working conditions may provide a context for gender-based violence.
