In 2005, 3.9 in every 1,000 children and young people were nominated as protected persons on a Domestic Apprehended Violence Order in NSW.
The rate was consistently higher for females than males (in 2005: 4.5 per 1,000 for females compared with 3.2 for males). The rate varies with age. In 2005:
- the highest rate was for 15-17 year olds (5.1 per 1,000)
- the lowest was for under one year olds (2.9 per 1,000)
The rate was consistently lower for children and young people living in Sydney Statistical Division. In 2005, the rate in the Sydney Statistical Division was 2.4 compared with 5.7 for the rest of NSW.
