RAPE SUPPORT
Rape Crisis Centres provide crucial crisis and long-term specialised support, counselling and independent advocacy for women and girls of all ages who have experienced any form of sexual violence at any time in their lives; whether recently and/or in the past. Rape Crisis Centres are community-based, and independent of government and the criminal justice system.
Our services are confidential, free and available to anyone who’s been raped or sexually assaulted, now or in the past. We can help, regardless of whether you have told the police or anyone else about the attack.
Sexual assault referral centres offer medical, practical and emotional support. They have specially trained doctors and counsellors to care for you. If you’re considering reporting the assault to the police, they can arrange for you to have an informal talk with a specially trained police officer who can explain what’s involved.
