About the organisation:

Established in 2011, Survivors & Mates Support Network (SAMSN) is Australia’s leading organisation for male survivors of child sexual abuse and their supporters.

SAMSN is a not-for-profit charity that evolved through collaboration between survivors and professionals to provide services to male survivors, their families, and supporters.

SAMSN employs qualified staff to provide a trauma informed and culturally safe approach in its groupwork programs, individual support and counselling, community engagement and peer support.

Our work is grounded in principles of trauma-informed care and the following values:

Hope: The courage to believe in what’s possible

Dignity: We honour each other’s inherent worth

Connection:Together we achieve

Community: Engaging the power of networks for growth
