National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey

The periodic National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey or NCAS is a population survey conducted every four years, and tells us how Australians understand violence against women, their attitudes towards it, what influences their attitudes, and if there has been a change over time.

It also gauges attitudes to gender equality and people’s preparedness to intervene when witnessing violence or its precursors. The NCAS was last conducted in 2017 and is due to go into the field again in 2021, with a report to be produced before the end of 2022.
