A federal minister got a first-hand look at a sexual assault clinic in Victoria.
Located on Cedar Hill Road in Victoria’s Oaklands neighbourhood, VSAC offers a range of services that includes immediate support for survivors via a sexual assault response team, counselling and victim support services.“We need to be doing this in a lot of other places. How can we replicate this? Absolutely, this is something that we will be thinking about,” she said.
