A NEW counselling support service, Sexual Assault Counselling Australia, was launched yesterday in Dubbo by Gemini Bakos, Duty Officer, Orana Local Area Command.
Rape and Domestic Violence Services Australia (RDVSA), formerly NSW Rape and Crisis Centre, established the service to assist those impacted by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The purpose of yesterday’s seminar was to raise awareness of the services Rape and Domestic Violence Services Australia provide among people within the industry.
“The impact of sexual assault is trauma, which can reek all sorts of havoc on a person and it can be difficult to assess and treat,” Karen Willis, Executive Officer of RDVSA, said.
