NDS occupational violence project completes first year
9/08/2023
In September last year, we began the Addressing Occupational Violence in the Victorian Disability Sector project. We had over 5500 contacts with people working at all levels of organisations interested in this issue, plus regulators, academics, researchers and other stakeholders. We thank everyone who contributed to a successful first year.
