ECASA provides a free counselling and support service to people who have experienced sexual assault either recently or in the past. ECASA’s services are also available to non-offending family members and friends. ECASA’s counsellor/advocate team is made up of psychologists and social workers.
Please contact us at 9870 7330 to speak with an intake worker. People who have been assaulted during the past 2 weeks are offered immediate crisis care service.

We do not require clients to disclose anything they do not wish to unless directly necessary with their healing journey. Any critical feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome, and that the safety and confidentiality of people from any communities giving feedback will be respected and protected.
