SARC About Us

SARC is a free 24 hour emergency service for people, male and female, aged 13 years or over who have been sexually assaulted or sexually abused recently (last 2 weeks). SARC also provides a free counselling service (during business hours) to people who have experienced sexual assault or sexual abuse in the past (more than 2 weeks ago).

The SARC team is made up of:

• female Medical Doctors
• female and male Counsellors and Social Workers
• female Clinical Psychologists
• an Aboriginal Liaison Officer, and
• an Education and Training Unit.

SARC has an important role of not only increasing community knowledge and skills, but also challenging the myths surrounding sexual assault and sexual abuse. Our core values are:

• Honesty
• Respect
• Teamwork
• Caring
• Clinical Excellence

SARC is NOT part of the police and it is up to you to decide if you want to go to the police.

History

The Sexual Assault Resource Centre (SARC) has been operational for more than 30 years, with the original centre opening on 5 January 1976. The original centre was located in North Perth, but was moved shortly after to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. Within the first 21/2 years the centre saw more than 200 cases. SARC then moved in 1986 and again in mid 2006 to where it is now located. The latest facility was established with the aid of $1.22 million allocated from Government funding and another $950 000 from the Womens and Childrens Health Service. In total, $2.17 million was spent on upgrading the centre. The current facility was designed to maintain a sense of confidentiality and a non-hospital environment.
