(Alexandra Neame and Melanie Heenan for the Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault, June 2004)

This briefing paper reviews some of the existing literature that deals with sexual assault and service provision outside metropolitan areas and takes into account some of the issues that women and workers often need to negotiate when living in rural areas. The briefing also inclues a survey that explores some of the factors that impact service delivery.
