1. I work at VicHealth in Australia. We are responsible for carrying out the National Community Attitudes Survey towards Violence against Women survey. The last survey we ran was in 2009 and we have just completed another one. Results will be released later this year at http://www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/Publications/Freedom-from-violence.aspx

   That page also contains information on research we produced last year on bystander behaviour. One of our big findings was that proactive bystanders need to feel supported by their organisation whether it’s an employer or sporting club or local government so there’s a lot of work they can do.

2. We loved your survey (I basically love everything Vic health has been doing). Thank you for all the work you are doing!

3. Thanks Bethany.

   I just need to correct myself about the Australian National Community Attitudes Survey that is currently underway and say that the survey results won’t be public until next year 2014.

4. How can we access the actual findings?
