About the Webinar

In this session, Arianne Schlumpp will present the methodology developed to identify victim-survivors of FDV within the National Health Data Hub (NHDH).

The FDSV IDS is an activity under the First Action Plan of the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children 2022–2032. It links FDSV-related data from a wide range of sources into the AIHW Linkage System to strengthen the evidence base for people experiencing and using FDV.

The first version of the system includes anonymised person-level data from:

• Specialist Homelessness Services Collection
• Centrelink
• Admitted Patient Care (hospitalisations)
• National Death Index
• Australian Government-funded programs (e.g., Specialised Family Violence Services, Escaping Violence Payment data)

From these data, an anonymised cohort of people with disclosed experiences of FDV will be selected for proof-of-concept analysis. The seminar will cover the establishment, progress, and methods used to develop the FDSV IDS, as well as future directions.
