Professor Michael Salter

I am the Professor in Criminology at the University of New South Wales, Australia. I specialise in the study of organised sexual abuse. In addition to my work on complex trauma, I have researched and published widely on violence against women and children.

I sit on the Scientific Advisory Committee and the Board of Directors of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, where I am the current president. I am the Chair of the Grace Tame Foundation. I sit on the editorial boards of the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation and Child Abuse Review.

I act as a consultant and trainer to a range of non-government organisations and government departments at the state and national level. I am an expert advisor to the Australian Office of the eSafety Commissioner and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection.

I am available for consultations and to provide training on complex trauma and organised abuse for professionals in mental health, child protection, law enforcement and related agencies. Please contact me here.
