In June 2016, Ambulance Victoria began capturing information about family, domestic or sexual violence as part of the administrative data collected by paramedics who have attended an event.
The data included in these data tables concerns all records where family, domestic or sexual violence had been identified and recorded by attending paramedics.
Currently data concerning family violence and sexual violence cannot easily be disaggregated. As such, the data in these data tables include events of sexual violence by a non-familial perpetrator.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the data used in these data tables count the number of records provided by Ambulance Victoria.
This translates to the number of patients (non-unique) who were the subject of an event which involved Ambulance Victoria attendance.
In order to maintain confidentiality, person-based counts with a value of 3 or less are displayed as "≤ 3" and are given a value of 2 to calculate totals.
