Intimate partner sexual violence: Best practice responses forum and training

17-18 March 2011 ~ Vibe Savoy Hotel, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

This event brought together policy makers and practitioners from the domestic/family violence and sexual assault sectors to examine how we can improve the way we respond to victim/survivors of intimate partner sexual violence. The forum canvassed the responses from both sectors; focused on client-centered responses, and looked at innovative service delivery models.
