Australian Bureau of Statistics: Personal Safety Survey.

In 2006 the Australian Government published In Matters of Personal Safety, a report recording the levels of violence experienced by men and women. The survey defined violence as including “any incident involving the occurrence, attempt or threat of either physical or sexual assault”. It concluded that 5.8 per cent of Australian women experienced violence so defined in the 12 months prior to the survey, as did 10.8 per cent of men. The figures are summarised in the two flow diagrams below:
