There is currently unprecedented momentum for change on sexual violence. As the peak body for Victoria's specialist sexual assault and harmful sexual behaviour services, SASVic has a unique role in driving change. Our board is foundational to this work, ensuring SASVic has good governance, including that we comply with our legal duties and obligations.

The SASVic board currently has two vacancies for appointed board members. (Appointed board members do not have to be SASVic members.) The board would value new members with previous board experience.

More information is available on our website, including an information pack, an application form, a copy of our Constitution (Model Rules) and strategic plan.

Board positions are open to anyone based in Victoria.

About SASVic:

Sexual Assault Services Victoria (SASVic) is the peak body for specialist sexual assault and harmful sexual behaviour services in Victoria. We work to promote rights, recovery and respect for survivors and other people impacted by sexual violence and harm. We seek to achieve this by working collectively to change attitudes, systems and structures that enable sexual violence to occur. SASVic members bring over 30 years of feminist practice and specialist expertise to the task of reforming system responses to sexual violence and harmful sexual behaviour.

SASVic is the peak body for 18 specialist sexual assault services across Victoria, from Horsham to Bairnsdale, Wodonga to Warnambool.

Together, our member services provide a free, 24/7 specialist response to survivors and other people impacted by sexual violence. This includes 24/7 crisis support for people who have experienced a recent sexual assault, counselling and advocacy for survivors and others impacted by sexual assault, and support and services for children and young people exhibiting harmful sexual behaviour. Members' response work is complemented by community education and other prevention activities, systems advocacy and training and support for other professionals.

Our members are the Australian Childhood Foundation, Ballarat Centre Against Sexual Assault (CASA), Bass Coast Health, CASA House, CASA Central Victoria, Centre Against Violence, Eastern CASA, Gatehouse Centre, Gippsland CASA, Goulburn Valley CASA, Kids First, Mallee Sexual Assault Unit, Northern CASA, The Sexual Violence and Family Violence Centre, South Eastern CASA, South Western CASA, West CASA and the Sexual Assault Crisis Line.
