Statement
The Sexual Assault Support Service Inc. provides counselling, education, advocacy and preventative strategies, honouring individual resilience, while striving to achieve a community free of sexualised violence based on justice, equity and respect. SASS acknowledges and honours the expertise of Survivors of sexual trauma and Pro survivors (non offending supporters) to continuously improve the service. SASS aims to facilitate the healing process that survivors of sexual trauma are engaged in.
“This organisation supports and recognises the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional owners of the land and supports the rights of Aboriginal self determination.”
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.

'Playing Cards'
Exposure to Health Message project
The common stories about women in prison are influenced by the media and popular culture. They are rarely the women’s stories.
This pack of playing cards is the result of women in Risdon Prison, Tasmania, working together in developing ideas, the designs, messages and colour schemes.
Creativity, a sense of fun and enthusiasm have been essential in the development of this pack of cards. It also tells of an alternative story of the women involved,
We thank all the community services involved for their support with special thanks to Chrissie Hall-Pascoe and Amanda Walker. Project Worker Anne Stephens.
This Project was funded through the Tasmanian Community Fund 2004 and under the auspices of the Sexual Assault Support Service Inc (SASS). These Playing Cards are not available
for sale as this project has been completed, but they can be viewed on our site,
