Notes:	This publication uses Australian data sources to present what is known about the extent and nature of sexual assault and abuse in Australia. It draws on the Personal Safety Survey, Australia, 2005:, the Crime Victimisation Survey, Australia 2010-2011:, and Recorded Crime-Victims, Australia 2011:. In particular, the sexual victimisation which occurs in high-risk populations is discussed. These groups include adolescents, Indigenous Australians, people with a disability, older people, and those in correctional institutions. In considering the limitations of their data, the authors acknowledge that sexual assault is universally under-reported and this would affect the statistics. [Appended From Merge Migration] This ACSSA Resource Sheet summarises the available statistical information about the nature and extent of sexual assault and abuse in Australia. It draws on Australian data sources, and provides information on the prevalence of sexual violence as well as characteristics of victimisation and perpetration. Because sexual assault and abuse are significantly under-reported this Resource Sheet describes the limitations associated with these collections. It also describes how we can use data that examine sexual victimisation in high-risk populations.
