NSW Rape Crisis Centre provides a 24/7 telephone and online crisis counselling service to anyone whose life has been impacted by sexual violence. The Centre also provides trauma counselling from a number of locations around NSW for women who were sexually assaulted when they were children.

The Centre is committed to upholding the rights of all women to live in a socially just, equitable and non violent society. Counsellors work in partnership with clients to expand their choices, facilitate healing and encourage personal growth.

The fundamental service principles on which the Centre operates are that:

• Sexual violence is a gendered crime and a product of patriarchy.
• The responsibility for the offence always lies with the perpetrator.
• Sexual violence is a human rights abuse.
• The psychological injury resulting from sexual violence is based in trauma.
• Client self-determination and empowerment is critical to trauma recovery.
• The service is accessible to anyone who has experienced sexual violence or who is supporting someone who experienced that violence.

NSW Rape Crisis Centre asserts that it is every person’s human right to live their life free of violence and when violence occurs it is their right to receive compassionate, professional assistance in their recovery and full redress for the crime through the criminal justice system.

NSW Rape Crisis Centre was established in the early 1970's. The Centre is funded by NSW Health. It is a non profit community organisation managed by a group of committed women. The Centre employs counsellors who are professionally qualified and have extensive experience in the area of sexual assault trauma.

The Centre’s work is evidence based and best practice.
