Sexual assault is a crime.

It has nothing to do with the actions or choices of the person who experienced it and everything to do with a rapist’s choice to use power and control over someone else.

Sexual assault can happen to anyone and it is never your fault. You are not alone. Reaching out for support is an extremely brave thing to do. 

The Sexual Assault Helpline team are specialist counsellors who will always listen and believe you. Call the DVConnect team for advice and support on 1800 010 120. You can choose to be anonymous.

Sexual violence is a serious crime that can happen to anyone and can be committed by someone known to you, someone you just met, or a stranger. It can often be traumatic and distressing, and we understand that reporting it can take a BIG leap off faith. 

Did you know?  that If you have experienced these crimes, no matter how long ago, you can tell police at any time and access support.
