This research aims to explore and understand the prevalence and types of aggressive behaviours exhibited prior to actual physical violence against Emergency Department (ED) staff at a Brisbane Metro North hospital. The study is rooted in the understanding that all violent behaviours are aggressive, but not all aggressive behaviours lead to violence. Aggressive behaviours, which include a spectrum of interactions short of physical altercation such as verbal assaults and threats, often precede physical violence. The research seeks to delineate these pre-physical violence phenomena in the ED and for which current literature is inadequate and therefore providing evidence-based knowledge to eliminate Workplace Violence (WPV).  The research will employ a retrospective electronic chart audit methodology, analysing patient records to identify patterns and frequencies of aggressive incidents. The outcomes of this research will provide a comprehensive statistical overview of aggressive incidents, offering a clear picture of the current state of workplace violence in the ED setting. It will generate empirical evidence regarding the patterns of aggression, serving as a benchmark for future comparative studies. The findings will contribute towards finding practical solutions for actual violence mitigation,  a safer ED environment and  potentially influencing national health policies and workplace safety standards. By focusing on the Metro North Brisbane area, the research will provide localized data that can be used to tailor interventions to the specific needs of the community. The impact of this research is anticipated to extend beyond the immediate clinical setting, influencing national guidelines and contributing to a safer work environment for ED personnel. The study's outcomes will help to establish a robust foundation for future research to explore longitudinal trends and the effectiveness of violence prevention strategies in the ED.
