Aboriginal Sexual Assault Healing

Aboriginal Sexual Assault Healing provides free support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults, adolescents and children who have experienced sexual assault.  

Who is it for?

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community who have experienced sexual assault.

How it works 

• We provide culturally safe, therapeutic sexual assault counselling.
• You can also take part in cultural healing group sessions, including access to cultural camps on Country.
• We support you to connect with other specialist services, like child development specialists, cultural advisors and family violence therapists where needed.
• Further support is available through engagement with Elders, community members and linking to Gathering Places to support connection to culture and community.
• We can help with referrals to other VACCA programs and external services if needed.
• If needed, a MARAM Risk Assessment and safety plan is developed by the practitioner to identify the level of support required.
