Résumé

In Australia scant attention is given to teaching medical students how to identify and manage intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual assault (SA). In Australia one woman dies weekly from IPV and the prevalence of IPV in Australian women is 29 percent. The Australian Prime Minister labelled it a 'national disgrace' and yet, of the five World Health Organisation (WHO) regions, the Western Pacific Region has the lowest rates in the world.
