Canberra Rape Crisis Centre

The Canberra Rape Crisis Centre (CRCC) is a non-government, not for profit, Feminist organisation working to eliminate sexual violence in the ACT and surrounding regions. CRCC provides a crisis and counselling telephone support service between 7am-11pm (7 days a week) on 02 6247 2525. Additional services include ongoing counselling and group work for survivors of sexual violence, as well as their families and supporters, and a 24/7 advocacy service to police, forensic medical services, and the courts. CRCC encompasses a service dedicated to supporting male survivors (Service Assisting Male Survivors of Sexual Assault [SAMSSA]), and a dedicated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community service, Nguru, which provides crisis and counselling support for the impacts of recent and historical trauma. CRCC is committed to excellence in service provision, access and equity, diversity and social justice. CRCC works collaboratively within service provision systems in the ACT to ensure that victim survivors of sexual violence and their supporters receive appropriate supports based on international guidelines for best practice in the treatment of sexual assault and childhood sexual assault trauma. As part of the broader ACT community services network, CRCC also provides education, training, and professional consultation to organisations and individuals.
