SUPPORT

Support Services

At GCCASV we have two different programs for women, young women, and older women living on the Gold Coast. Both are free of charge.

 

Our Sexual Violence Program provides crisis support, counselling, practical support through related legal and medical procedures, and therapeutic and educational groups to victims and survivors of recent and/or past sexual violence. This program does not require a formal referral. Call us during office hours (Mon-Frid 9am-5pm on 07 55911164).

 

Our Women's Health & Wellbeing Program provides counselling, support, and advocacy services to women who have experienced domestic violence in their past and are now safe and post-crisis. This program requires a referral from an organisation or individual practitioner along with a Risk Assessment and Safety Plan. In limited circumstances we take self-referral. You can learn more about this on our Referrals page. 

We also provide information to partners, friends and relatives of women who have experienced sexual violence.
