National Community Attitudes towards Violence Against Women Survey, 2013

The 2013 National Community Attitudes towards Violence Against Women Survey (NCAS) is the second national survey of community attitudes towards violence against women funded by the Australian Government and administered by VicHealth - the previous survey was in 2009. For this survey, the Australian Government Department of Social Security (DSS) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) to undertake the 2013 NCAS. VicHealth, in turn, entered into a collaborative survey partnership with the Social Research Centre and the University of Melbourne to deliver all aspects of the survey program. The main point of differentiation between the methodological approaches for the previous (2009) survey and this (2013) survey was the adoption of a dual-frame sample design.
