Background And Objectives:
The research evaluated an introductory‑level training program to improve the readiness of general practices in regional Victoria to identify and support victim-survivors of family and domestic violence (FDV).
Method:
Mixed methods research was conducted in parallel with a co-design process to optimise the program over three iterations using a rapid-cycle evaluation approach, with data collected to assess early indicators of the program's effectiveness.
Results:
Six practices participated in the training sessions. Post-training surveys demonstrated significant changes in their perceived readiness to respond to FDV, with five main themes emerging from the qualitative analysis, including navigating the multiple layers of complexity, providing victim-centred care, tailoring the program to the needs of practices, the program's influence on staff, and recommendations.
Discussion:
The research confirmed that the project achieved its aim of developing a training program that improved the readiness of general practices to identify and support victim-survivors.
