FAMILY VIOLENCE & INFORMATION SHARING

Edenhope & District Memorial Hospital (EDMH) acknowledges that family violence is a serious health issue which significantly effects health and wellbeing. Family violence is common and impacts upon people of all ages including children and the elderly. One in three Australian women who have an intimate partner experience violence from a partner or ex-partner. Victims/survivors of family violence are among our community, in workplaces, schools, community groups and present in our hospitals.



Our hospital has an important role in the health and safety of our community. Under the Multi-agency Risk Assessment Management (MARAM) we also have a legal obligation as an Information Sharing Entity (ISE).

*Only prescribed risk assessment entities are entitled to make requests and receive information for a family violence assessment purpose, which focuses on identifying who the ‘actual’ perpetrator and victim survivor are and establishing the level of risk the perpetrator poses to the victim survivor.


**Any prescribed ISE is permitted to request and receive information for a family violence protection purpose. The focus at this stage is about managing the risk of the perpetrator committing family violence or the victim survivor being subjected to family violence. This could include information sharing as part of ongoing risk assessment.
