ACMS
FINDINGS LAUNCHED

Click here for a special thank you to our participants

On April 3rd, 2023 the Australian Child Maltreatment Study team published the
primary outcomes of the study in a special supplement of the Medical Journal of
Australia and in a report. We found a large percentage of Australians have
experienced some form of child maltreatment.

Our findings also highlight that the harm associated with experiences of child
maltreatment crystallise early, differences are evident by age 24, and appear to
persist over life, with differences still being apparent in people 45 years and
older.

The ACMS has found that Australians who experience maltreatment are
substantially more likely to have

 * mental health disorders
 * health risk behaviours
 * higher health service utilisation.

You can see our primary findings here.

These scientific findings were published in a special supplement of the Medical
Journal of Australia, Australia’s leading medical journal.

The ACMS report provides a layperson summary of key findings and a series of
infographics have been created for sharing with those interested.

These are landmark findings for our nation. They are the first national
prevalence estimates of the five types of child maltreatment and associated
impacts generated in Australia.

The findings are deeply sobering. Child maltreatment is widespread in Australia
and associated with early and persistent harm.

Across the Australian population (ages 16-65+) we found:

32.0%

experienced
physical abuse

28.5%

experienced
sexual abuse

30.9%

experienced
emotional abuse

8.9%

experienced
neglect

39.6%

experienced exposure
to domestic violence

In childhood before the age of 18*

ABOUT THE ACMS

The Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS) is a landmark Australian study of
the prevalence of child maltreatment. We have generated essential data on how
many Australians have experienced each of the five types of child maltreatment
(physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and exposure to
domestic violence). The findings are already informing policy and practice
reforms to reduce child abuse and neglect in Australia.



The study is also important globally as it is one of the most comprehensive
studies on child maltreatment ever conducted. The ACMS surveyed just over  8500
Australians aged 16 years and over to determine how many Australian people have
experienced child abuse and neglect. However, it extended beyond basic
prevalence by also examining associations with a range of physical and mental
health outcomes as well as the burden of disease.


More about the study








IMPACT OF
CHILD
MALTREATMENT

ACMS findings have highlighted the early and ongoing harm associated with child
maltreatment in Australia. Our findings show the influence of child maltreatment
extends far beyond childhood and can persists across the life. Our data shows
Australians who experience childhood maltreatment (physical abuse, sexual abuse,
emotional abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence) are substantially
more likely to have a mental disorder, engage in health risk behaviours and to
have high health service utilisation.

The relationship between maltreatment experiences and these outcomes is complex
and may be influenced by numerous factors. We found emotional abuse, sexual
abuse and multi-type maltreatment (where an individual experiences more than one
different type of maltreatment) are associated with the worst outcomes. This
highlights that while it is essential to reduce all types of maltreatment the
reduction of these types in particular is especially important.
