Capability level: Emerging
Sexual violence remains a pervasive and complex issue in Australia, affecting people of all ages, genders, cultural backgrounds and communities. Social workers frequently play a vital role in supporting individuals who have experienced sexual violence, whether through direct service delivery, advocacy, or systems navigation.
This training will provide foundational knowledge and skills for learners to safely respond to disclosures and support survivors of sexual violence.
The program draws on trauma-informed practice principles, Australian legal and policy frameworks, and the AASW Code of Ethics and Practice Standards. It also foregrounds the importance of practitioner self-care, reflective practice and organisational supports to sustain this challenging but essential work.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Understand the context of sexual violence in Australia
Apply trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches
Respond effectively to disclosures of sexual violence
Maintain professional and ethical standards
Prioritise practitioner self-care and reflective practice
