Support and assistance for parents and carers of children
In 2016, the Australian Bureau of Statistics conducted the Personal Safety Survey, which identified that 7.7% of Australia's adult population, 1.4 million Australian adults, had experienced childhood sexual assault (ABS, 2019). There is a range of support services who specialise in childhood sexual assault including some QSAN services and other support services.
