Traumatic events are common, and most people will experience at least one during their lives. Trauma comes in many forms and affects thousands of Australians every day. Most people recover with the help of family and friends, but there are effective treatments for those needing extra support.
Watch this brief video to understand more about trauma and how it affects people.

This webinar is the second in the webinar series: Implementing the Australian National Research Agenda 2023–2028. The series is aimed at supporting the implementation of the Australian National Research Agenda (ANRA), a national framework produced by ANROWS that identifies what evidence is needed to end domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) and how that evidence should be produced.
In this webinar on Indigenous methodologies, one of the research priorities set out in the agenda, Fiona Cornforth, Professor Juanita Sherwood and Dr Nicole Tujague discuss:
Violence against women and girls is the most pervasive human rights violation and public health concern, with nearly 1 in 3 women globally, subjected to violence in their lifetime. Data and research on violence against women are critical to better understand the phenomenon, and how to effectively address it.
Administrative data on violence against women is collected when survivors and perpetrators of violence interact with hotlines, police and courts, health systems, shelters, and other services. The collection and use of high-quality administrative data is crucial to inform the policies and programmes developed by governments to prevent and respond to violence against women.
UN Women developed a global methodological guidance and works at regional and country level closely with partners to strengthen administrative data systems and enhance the collection and use of administrative data to better prevent and respond to violence against women.
Change the story is Our Watch’s evidence-based framework to guide a coordinated and effective national approach to preventing violence against women.
As outlined in this video, the second edition provides an updated, expanded, evidence-based framework for Australia to continue and strengthen this shared national approach.
This video provides a brief introduction to reflective practice, which is an important part of the continuing professional development cycle. Reflective practice can help us learn and implement lessons from past projects, improve the quality of our work and build team morale.
Reflecting by thinking alone isn’t enough, as you may only reaffirm your existing thought process.
