In addition to the information for men and women aged 18 years and over about their experience of violence, the 2012 PSS also collected a range of information about their demographics. This included age, language, marital status, education, country of birth, State or Territory of residence. This information was also collected about a person's current partner. Three characteristics have been assessed and presented in this chapter from the 2012 PSS:
