The Sexual Assault
Support Service (SASS) is a community based service for
survivors of sexual assault, in Hobart, Tasmania (Australia). It is
based on the belief that sexual assault is an abuse of power and a
crime. SASS is committed to the provision of a high quality service
that empowers survivors of sexual assault, as well as working
towards the elimination of sexual violence. SASS provides this
service to people of all ages, religions, cultures, sexual
orientation, ability and socio-economic group. A confidential
telephone interpreting service can be used if you prefer to speak in
your own language.
The website contains
information about what constitutes sexual assault and counselling
and crisis services that are offered. There is a publications page
which shows the free pamphlets available and education and training
links.
Many links have been
included to make it easier to find more information if it is needed.
