As of May last year, 1/3 calls to the Sexual Violence Helpline went unanswered.
Survivors are waiting between 6 and 12 months to access support through the Sexual Assault Services run out of NSW hospitals because of chronic underfunding.
This new system has seen 300+ new sexual assault reports, directing survivors to supports that are already underfunded.
We urgently need more funding for these services to meet this increased demand
The Greens are committed to ending sexual violence.
