VSAC | Victoria Sexual Assault Centre

It’s Our Mission to Support, Empower and Advocate for Women and Trans Survivors of Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse. We started out in 1982 with two volunteers in a basement suite. Our vision was that survivors in Victoria would have a place to call, to get support, to reach out to. We’re still here with more than twenty staff and large community volunteer base.
