An Innovative Primary Care Program Advancing Competency To Support Family Violence Survivors (PACTS)

The PACTS (An innovative Primary care program Advancing Competency To Support family violence survivors) project has developed an open access online teaching and learning resource concerning family violence for use with primary healthcare students.

This resource will teach the basic background on family violence (including scale and impact), as well as the skills needed to identify and respond to victim-survivors of family violence, and work in a multi-disciplinary health care team in this context.

This learning package was developed in partnership with:

• Monash University
• Australian Government Officer for Learning and Teaching
• University of Melbourne
• University of Newcastle
• Australian National University
• Victorian Women's Benevolent Trust

The project team involved a large number of collaborators from the above institutions, names of which are listed on the Monash University PACTS Project website.
