The Northern Territory has the highest rates of family, domestic and sexual violence (FDSV) in Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are overrepresented as victim-survivors and are 32 times more likely than non-Indigenous women to be hospitalised for family violence related assaults.
Our role
NT PHN recognises the vital role that GPs and other primary health service providers play in responding to victim-survivors and their children. Through a range of initiatives, we aim to support the primary care response to family, domestic and sexual violence.
