Event Details
Are you a healthcare worker working in Australia who cares for victims of sexual violence? If so, this course is for you.
Monash University’s Department of Forensic Medicine and consortia partner, the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine (VIFM), have developed a three-unit Course for health practitioners in Recognising and Responding to Sexual Violence which commenced in 2021 and will continue in 2022.
This training program is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Social Services (DSS) as an initiative under the Fourth Action Plan of the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children 2010–2022. The training will equip healthcare professionals to recognise and respond appropriately to adult disclosures of sexual violence.
Monash University is seeking expressions of interest from registered and practicing health practitioners providing primary health care services to undertake the RACGP and other medical college CPD-accredited training pilot at no cost.
You can enrol in single or multiple units.
Consideration will be given to rural and remote practitioners and those whose practice catchment includes patients at higher risk of experiencing sexual violence. This may include:
- patients with intellectual disabilities
- patients from culturally and linguistically diverse communities
- Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples
- patients who identify as LGBTQIA+
- older adults
- adolescents
- sex workers
Each unit is delivered online over a six-week period and includes live sessions with clinicians with expertise in responding to sexual violence. The course has been designed to be interactive.
Unit 1 – Sexual Violence: Drivers and Impacts
Unit 1 will provide an evidence-based overview of sexual violence prevalence, drivers, short- and long-term impacts on individuals and the community and an overview of justice responses.
Learning Outcomes:
- Determine indicators of sexual violence and assess patient risk.
- Determine short and long-term health impacts of sexual violence and incorporate into patient management
- Integrate impacts of vicarious trauma and unconscious bias into self-care and patient care management.
- Integrate discussion on the role of police, the justice system and confidentiality into patient reporting options.
Doctor Intakes commencing: 28 March / 23 May / 20 June
Nurse Intakes commencing: 15 March / 09 May / 04 July
Unit 2 – Responding to Sexual Violence in Adults
Unit 2 focuses on the patient consultation, medical care and documentation and referrals.
Learning Outcomes:
- Prioritise and integrate the complex elements of sexual violence disclosures into patient care
- Construct a trauma-informed patient management plan for patients who disclose sexual violence
- Identify the key ethical, medical, and forensic issues that need to be addressed in patients disclosing sexual violence
Doctor Intakes commencing: 30 May / 25 July / 15 August
Nurse Intakes commencing: 16 May / 11 July / 29 August
Unit 3 – Responding to Sexual Violence in At-Risk Patients
Unit 3 covers immediate and long-term care for individuals who are known to be at a higher risk of experiencing sexual violence.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify forms of sexual violence experienced by at-risk patients and address barriers to disclosure.
- Apply and integrate understanding of intersectionality and response frameworks into healthcare for patients from at-risk cohorts who disclose sexual violence.
- Formulate patient-focused healthcare for at-risk patients who have experienced sexual violence.
- Evaluate patient needs and apply understanding of psycho-social support services to provide referrals that address a patient’s complex and diverse needs and pathway for recovery.
Doctor Intakes commencing: 01 August / 19 September / 10 October
Nurse Intakes commencing: 18 July / 05 September / 17 October
The curriculum is patient-centred and recognises and addresses the risk of vicarious trauma for health practitioners in caring for victim/survivors of sexual violence.
The program is designed to be practical and the practice-focused units will include a Sexual Assault Response Resource developed by specialist forensic medical practitioners. This guideline will support workplace operationalisation of course learning.
Who should attend?
Each Unit is designed for medical practitioners, nurses, midwives, and other health professionals who care for patients who may have experienced sexual violence.

While dementia is one of the leading causes of death in Australia,1 patients often receive little attention until its symptoms begin to affect their quality of life. However, as general practitioners, it is necessary that we can efficiently identify and address modifiable risk factors in order to educate patients on self-management strategies that can improve long-term outcomes.
In this webinar, Dr Hilton Koppe, Dr Marita Long and Prof Kaarin Anstey explore the latest evidence to assess dementia risk, and apply the latest clinical guidelines to help prevent or delay the onset of dementia in your patients. Through a case-based approach, the speakers discuss how the MBS-supported 45-49 year health assessment can be utilised as a timely and effective opportunity for conducting a brain health check

Metro North Hospital and Health Service and Brisbane North PHN invite GPs to join us and our panel of experts for an evening of education and discussion.
As winter approaches, exacerbations and flare-ups become more common for people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Ongoing management of COPD can be challenging and complicated by the impacts of the new COVID world, reinforcing the importance of keeping COPD patients out of hospital where clinically appropriate.
We will introduce the new Collaborative Care Model currently being developed to help achieve this as well as providing clinical tips to optimise care of COPD patients in the community.
Sleep disorders present a significant healthcare challenge with increasing demand for
diagnosis and treatment and a considerable burden of disease given their high prevalence and associated comorbidities. This evening aims to provide a practical approach to the assessment and management of a range of sleep disorders in the community and articulate referral pathways for specialist care in North Brisbane.
Join your GP colleagues and guests from the Metro North Respiratory and Sleep teams
to hear about new resources, care models and practical strategies to keep COPD patients out of hospital this winter and diagnose and manage sleep disorders.
There will be an opportunity to engage with our panel of experts about advice on management, referral options and support services that may be useful for you in primary care.

GPs are pivotal in diagnosing and managing mitochondrial disease (mito) patients. In response to requests for ongoing education, the Mito Foundation is delighted to launch a dedicated GP webinar series.
Event Details
Join Professor David Thorburn for the first webinar as he takes a closer look at mitochondrial donation and other reproductive options designed to support conversations involving your patients’ family planning. Prof Thorburn will briefly revisit mitochondrial disease genetics before discussing prenatal diagnosis, preimplantation genetic testing, donor conception and mitochondrial donation.
Register now for the opportunity to submit your clinical question. Join us live for an interactive discussion or receive the link to the recording after the event. Prof Thorburn will present for approximately 20 minutes, followed by an interactive Q&A.
On average, 10 out of every 2,000 patients seen at a general practice have mitochondrial DNA mutations, which may lead to mitochondrial disease or disease involving mitochondrial dysfunction. Let us help you provide them with evidence-based care and resources. Visit our Maybe It’s Mito GP education page.

In Vivo Academy invites you to the third of the Multimorbidity Webinar Series – “Multimorbidity and frailty” with Dr Jagdeesh Singh Dhaliwal (Clinical Director, Aged Care GP, Melbourne) as presenter and Emeritus Professor Mieke van Driel (General Practice Clinical Unit, The University of Queensland) as Facilitator.
Multimorbidity with frailty is common, and both have been associated with the risk of disability, hospitalisation and mortality and increased health-related costs in the elderly population.(1,2) Age, sex and socioeconomic position are reported risk factors, but management should have a patient-centred, multidisciplinary approach.(3) Learn how to prioritise care decisions and apply strategies that enhance patient–clinician communication.

Please note that this webinar will be accredited by RACGP, ACRRM, and RNZCGP. It is supported by an independent (“at arms-length”) educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim. As such the sponsor is NOT INVOLVED in the selection of faculty, design and content of the activity. In Vivo Academy chose the faculty based on their long experience and expertise on the specific topics. We made sure that they are a combination of academics and practicing clinicians.
In planning the activity, In Vivo Academy conducted a comprehensive needs assessment (including a review of the literature, several surveys from 2019 to 2021 of primary care providers who are our targeted audience, and interviews of experts) to identify knowledge, competence, and practice gaps. The activity was designed to address these gaps and outcomes will be assessed using the Moore Framework.
