Cairns Sexual Assault Service
If you have experienced sexual assault or sexual abuse at any time in your life, you are not to blame.
CSAS is an inclusive service supporting all people impacted by sexual violence (recent or historic) regardless of age, gender, sexual preference, ethnicity, religion, personal values or cultural background. Our sister service, True Child & Family Service, supports children and young people who have experienced sexual assault or child sexual abuse, or who engage in sexually reactive behaviours.
If you require a support person or have specific communication (translator or sign interpreter), cultural or physical access needs, please let us know so appropriate arrangements can be made in advance.
To request an appointment, you can fill out the form below, or contact us by phone at 07 4031 3590, or by emailing csas@true.org.au.
