Course Description
This course describes the skills and knowledge required to respond to the needs and preferences of victim/survivors who have experienced sexual violence.
This course develops workers’ ability to apply culturally safe, trauma-informed care and practices to facilitate and respond to disclosures of sexual violence. It also requires workers to develop skills to take an intersectional approach to identify victim/survivors’ needs and preferences and support their access to specialist services.
This course applies to frontline health and community service workers and other workers providing services to adults and young people. These workers may not be specialised sexual violence practitioners.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
