sexual assault at prestigious melbourne school.

Sexual assault can have lasting effects on a person’s emotional wellbeing, relationships, education and daily life. Seeking support may be an important step, whether the incident occurred recently or the person is only now ready to speak about their experience.
In Victoria, victims of sexual assault may be able to apply for financial assistance through the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS). Depending on the circumstances, financial assistance may include counselling costs, medical expenses, safety-related expenses, damaged/lost clothing costs, loss of earnings and other recovery-related costs.
If you or someone close to you has experienced sexual assault, making an enquiry can help clarify whether FAS assistance may be available.
