We are open and here to support you

Our service is open and available to support people impacted by sexual assault and women, children and young people experiencing family violence.

If you, or someone you know, needs support, we encourage you to reach out. We know how difficult making the first contact can be. We are here to help. You can contact us via phone, email, webchat or in person at our offices.

When you contact our service we will ask you about your current situation, talk to you about any safety concerns or risks you are facing, and help you to decide what support you would like. You can contact us during business hours to receive information, talk to one of our Counsellor Advocates or Case Managers and discuss strategies and help available.

We are here to help and are committed to ensuring your safety and wellbeing.
