The New South Wales Health Policy and Procedures for Identifying and Responding to Domestic Violence (2003, revised 2006) required the introduction of routine screening of eligible women for domestic violence in the antenatal, early childhood health, mental health, and alcohol and other drugs services program streams by the end of 2004. The screening format has been provided by the New South Wales Department of Health. Other services in addition to the four target program areas may also screen.

Collection methodology Annual one month data collection snapshots are undertaken between 1-30 November. Each screening facility completes a data collection proforma, provided by the NSW Department of Health. Proformas are submitted to the Area Health Service for collating into program areas and sign-off. Women can have more than one action taken on their behalf and are counted against each type of action taken (e.g. Police notifications, Department of Community Services reports, and numbers of referrals to any service. Similarly, individual women may be referred to more than one service, and thus counted more than once in the total number of other referrals. Women who answer ‘yes’ to either or both screening questions are then asked:
Scope / target population “Eligible women”, that is, all women attending antenatal and early childhood services, and women aged 16 and over attending mental health, alcohol and other drugs, or other services. Coverage Some “eligible women” may not be screened, or screening may not be completed for reasons including ‘presence of partner’, ‘presence of others’, declined to answer question, or other reasons (eg lack of private space, interruption, domestic violence already identified therefore screening was not necessary etc.). Note that services may count ‘eligible women’ differently, eg new clients only. Geographic coverage and disaggregation NSW Data available for: NSW Other - Area Health Service; Some information available at Screening Facility level.
