As part of work to improve occupational violence prevention strategies, Canberra Health Services have updated procedures and business rules to reflect a more inclusive and consistent approach to the classification of incidents. These business rules have been applied retrospectively to incidents from 1 January 2018. Improved reporting culture and increased awareness of the need to report occupational violence is also a large contributor to the increase in incidents in 2018.
