Notes:	Article describes the process currently being undertaken in New South Wales to develop a routine screening tool for domestic violence in areas of the health service where research has shown women are most at risk: emergency departments, antenatal services, drug and alcohol and mental health services. The screening initiative arose from the work of the Domestic Violence Policy Review Committee, which was convened in 1999. Commonwealth funding allowed for the development of a routine screening tool that consists of a preamble and four questions that was trialled in a six-month pilot project, now completed. Discusses preliminary evaluation results of the pilot project which provides positive evidence to proceed with routine screening, the final evaluation being made available in March 2001.
