Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Program

VSACT has a program to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victims. The program seeks to ensure that:

  • Culturally responsive services are available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victims; and
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities know about Victim Support ACT services.

Community members can get in touch with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Program by contacting us and asking for:

  • Leah House or
  • Telitha Elemes

Multicultural Program

We have a multicultural liaison officer at Victim Support ACT.  If you are from a migrant background, or are a refugee or asylum seeker, the multicultural liaison officer can support you.

We understand that your experience of violent crime in the ACT can be made worse by being away from your family supports.

Out multicultural liaison officer will listen to you to understand your needs. They will help to link you to services that can assist you with your needs. We can also help you understand the criminal justice system.

Community members can get in touch with our multicultural liaison officer on (02) 6207 2374 or at MulticulturalProgramVSACT@act.gov.au. We can make interpreting and translating services available.
