To provide national estimates on victims of a selected range of personal and household crimes, including whether victims reported these incidents to police, characteristics of victims and characteristics of their most recent incident. This publication provides headline indicators about the prevalence of victimisation in Australia for incidents that occurred over a 12 month period before the date of interview. DESCRIPTION

One randomly selected person per household, aged 15 years or over, was asked about whether they or their household had experienced selected personal household crimes, providing information about incidents that occurred over a 12 month period prior to the date of interview. Sexual assault data are only collected from people aged 18 years and over. SCOPE / TARGET POPULATION People aged 15 years and over who are a usual resident of a selected dwelling (scope is taken from the Labour Force Survey and modified for the MPHS). COVERAGE Members of the permanent defence forces, certain diplomatic personnel of overseas governments (customarily excluded from the census and estimated resident population), overseas residents in Australia and members of non-Australian defence forces (and their dependants) are excluded. The MPHS also excludes:
