Project Evaluation Executive Summary October 2008
A collaborative project with Metropolitan Divisions of General Practice.
Canning Division of General Practice has been funded for the Family and Domestic
Violence Project under the National Community Crime Prevention Programme, an
Australian Government Initiative, to work in partnership with other metropolitan
Divisions of General Practice and a range of community based family and domestic
violence (F&DV) service providers to extend the Project throughout the metropolitan area.
The Project aims to:
-
provide the opportunity for GPs and Practice Staff across the metropolitan area to gain
increased knowledge, skills and confidence, to positively impact on the outcomes for
General Practice patients who have experienced family and domestic violence; and
-
improve communication and relationships between General Practices and family and
domestic violence service providers
A series of workshops is currently being offered to GPs and Practice Staff and resources provided for GPs,
Practice Staff and their patients. Communication with F&DV service providers is mostly through the
Regional Domestic Violence Co-ordination Response Groups or their equivalent. Specialist F&DV service
providers are invited to be involved in the workshop presentations.
The other participating Divisions of General Practice include:
- Perth Primary Care Network (formerly GP Coastal and Perth and Hills Divisions)
- Osborne GP Network;
- Fremantle GP Network;
- Rockingham/Kwinana; and
- GP down south (Mandurah)
