Aboriginal Family Legal Services (AFLS), Women’s Legal Service WA (WLSWA), and Ruah Legal Services (RLS) have partnered to deliver state-wide legal services for victims and survivors of sexual violence in Western Australia.

Each partner organisation brings specialist expertise to ensure culturally safe, inclusive, and trauma-informed support, while still giving victims and survivors the freedom to choose where they seek help.

  • AFLS provides services to Aboriginal people who have experienced sexual violence, including childhood sexual abuse and sexual violence within a family and domestic violence context.

  • WLSWA provides services to women who have experienced sexual violence, many of whom are also affected by family and domestic violence.

  • RLS provides services to people who have experienced sexual violence and who identify as male, non-binary, and/or part of the LGBTQIA+ community, offering a Rainbow Tick accredited service.

    • What are my legal options?
    • How do I tell the police and what will happen?
    • What happens in court?
