This project conducts the first national Australian study of the prevalence and characteristics of child maltreatment. It will also identify health outcomes of maltreatment, including mental health consequences, and the burden of disease caused. The project identifies the types and combinations of maltreatment that contribute most to adverse public health outcomes, providing essential new evidence to guide strategies for targeted prevention and health service responses.
