The National Community Attitudes towards Violence Against Women Survey (NCAS), 2021

The National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey (NCAS) is a periodic large-scale population survey conducted approximately every four years to monitor the Australian community’s understanding of violence against women, their attitudes to gender equality and violence against women, and the factors underlying community knowledge and attitudes. The 2021 NCAS, conducted by Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety (ANROWS), collected information through mobile telephone interviews with a representative sample of 19,100 Australians aged 16 years and over. The survey consisted of over 100 questions designed to find out about people’s knowledge of violence against women, attitudes towards gender equality, attitudes towards violence against women and bystander intentions if witnessing violence or disrespect towards women.
