In 2016, the Royal Commission into Family Violence released its findings highlighting the significant health impacts of trauma to the Australian population (State of Victoria, 2016). Trauma, which is often described as a negative emotional response to an event or series of events (Dalenberg, Straus, & Carlson, 2017) can be overwhelming and while many people recover, for others, the effects can be long lasting (Phoenix Australia, 2021). Australia's substantial trauma history includes the suffering Indigenous peoples have experienced through loss of land, disconnection from kin and culture (Dudgeon, Watson, & Holland, 2017), natural disasters such as droughts and bushfires (Dutta, Das, & Aryal, 2016), and may also be associated with family violence or sexual abuse (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2019), adverse childhood experiences (Wickramasinghe, Raman, Garg, & Hurwitz, 2019) and being marginalised or displaced (Taylor & Haintz, 2018). Just as there are many ways in which individuals are exposed to trauma, the impact is also variable; yet every trauma-impacted individual needs appropriate, responsive care to support recovery.
