engaging them in the design & development of our
programs & services

South Australia have access to our services and programs
Evidence-Based Practice The support we provide to
victims is underpinned by robust research, evaluation &
performance management
Systemic Advocacy

& practical support to victims & coordinate services to
enable them to get the help they need
Community Development We work in partnership in the
community to support victims & prevent crime

by providing appropriate information & support
