Centres Against Sexual Assault Explained

The Centres Against Sexual Assault (CASAs) are non-profit, government-funded rape crisis centres in Victoria, Australia. Sexual Assault Services Victoria (SASVic, formerly CASA Forum)[1] is the umbrella body for CASAs.[2]

The first Centre Against Sexual Assault was established at Melbourne's Royal Women's Hospital in the mid-1990s under the leadership of Kate Gilmore.[3], it was the country's largest network of its sort.[4]

CASAs provide support and intervention to anyone who is a victim/survivor of sexual assault, as well as providing advocacy and education services.[5]
