Faster access to care for victim-survivors

Faster access to care for victim-survivors

image of Faster access to care for victim-survivors

Right now, too many people in WA are travelling long distances — then facing agonising waits — to access care after sexual assault.

Survivors are waiting up to 12 months for specialist trauma counselling. Some are waiting 9 hours or more for a forensic medical exam, or being turned away from their local hospital altogether and sent to Perth.

Every victim-survivor deserves timely care and support.

Call on the Cook Government to urgently fund faster access to forensic medical exams and specialist trauma counselling.
