The PHN has developed a Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) Primary Care Action Plan, designed to enable clinicians to identify patients at immediate risk, plan, manage, record and refer via an exclusive primary care pathway for patient triage and support.

Is your practice prepared if a patient discloses DFV or abuse? A conversation could save a life. Delivered by a GP and DFV specialist, the training will increase the confidence and capacity of your team to identify and support victims of domestic family violence and abuse.
