Our dedicated team of specialist staff provide a vital early intervention response for children and young people who have engaged in problem or harmful behaviours.

We work to support the young person and their family/caregivers in understanding how and why these behaviours have emerged for them and to support a shift in behaviour through exploring their strengths, age-appropriate education, and child—or youth-focussed therapeutic support.

We also work to aid the community in shifting their perception of young people engaging in problem or harmful sexual behaviours as the same as adult offenders and providing resources to support safe and respectful engagement.

The Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of the land we stand on. We are committed to working toward creating a community where all people indigenous and non-indigenous are safe, connected and empowered to live well. The Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre recognises the diverse needs of our community and we ensure our services are inclusive of all children, young people and their families including those who are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent, from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, those who identify as LGBTIQ and persons living with disability. We work collaboratively with people and partner organisations who also support our diverse client group. Interpreter and translator services are available to all our clients upon request.
