How to get help
There are several different ways we can help and support you.
The North and North West Tasmanian Sexual Assault Support Service, known as Laurel House, is a not-for-profit, community-based specialist sexual assault support service.
Our team provides sexual assault trauma counselling, support, education and training. We provide an inclusive, holistic service that addresses sexual inequalities and abuses by advocating for individual and community change.
It's not your fault. You are not alone. We are here to help.
We understand that it can be difficult to reach out and ask for help when you have experienced sexual harm.
We can help you to work out your options and consider what you want to do next.
We can also go with you if you decide to have a medical examination or to report to police.
We are here to support you, and it is always your choice to decide what is right for you.
