from Prof Anne Summers AO, to assist the Expert Panel conducting the rapid review of evidence-
based approaches to prevent gender-based violence.
This data summary provides an overview of Victorian Suicide Register (VSR) data the Court holds regarding the experience of family violence among people who suicided in Victoria. Section 2 introduces the VSR and its two components: the core dataset and the enhanced dataset. The core dataset includes basic information on all suicides reported to the Court between 2000 and the present. The enhanced dataset includes more detailed information about the contexts in which the suicides occurred, but is only available for cases during the period 2009-2016 at present because of intensive resource requirements for coding. The enhanced dataset is where information about the experience of family violence is coded. Therefore, the data presented in Sections 3 and 4 of this data summary spans the period 2009-2016.
On 25 July 2024, Prof Anne Summers AO further requested that the proportion of suicides where the deceased had experienced family violence be presented by age group. This data is presented in Attachment A and Attachment B (Purpose). Record #9005
