This report brings together key findings from:
• analyses of data from the Personal Safety Survey and a review of the international literature on effective and promising practices in primary prevention (Part One);
• a series of in-depth workshops with women with disability to identify priority settings for intervention (Part Two);
• a study testing the feasibility of embedding primary prevention initiatives in the disability support workforce in Victoria (Part Three).

The methodological approach was guided by the principles of disability inclusive and participatory research. While the initial evidence-building phases (Part One) were researcher-driven, subsequent components of the project were participatory and guided the latter research design (i.e., our focus on the
disability workforce was directly informed by women with disability). The project was also grounded in the theory and practice of contemporary feminist research, reflecting our commitment to building evidence in the primary prevention of
violence against women with disability that acknowledges and addresses intersecting and interlinking forms of discrimination and exclusion. (From the Executive summary). Record #7565
