Rural Doctors Family and Domestic Violence Education Package

The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) is pleased to present the Rural Doctors’ Family and Domestic Violence Education Package Online Learning Module.

The module was developed to strengthen the rural general practitioners’ capacity to address family violence within their community. It is based on a series of clinically focused case-based discussions with emphasis on providing best practice responses at both the individual and the community level.

The module is divided into six sections, each with its own multiple choice questionnaire:

1. Identifying Domestic Violence
2. Understanding Domestic Violence
3. Understanding the community – promotion, prevention and health education
4. Managing Domestic Violence
5. Demonstrating appropriate attitudes in practice – understanding the role and responsibilities of the GP in helping patients affected by Domestic Violence
6. Self reflection.
