The Canberra Rape Crisis Centre was originally established in 1976 as a feminist collective comprising all permanent staff and members. The CRCC works within a political, human rights and feminist framework, to assist people affected by sexual violence.
In 1996 the Canberra Rape Crisis Centre amalgamated Annadora, which was previously the Incest Centre, bringing the focus of child sexual assault to the CRCC. In the same year the Service Assisting Male Survivors of Sexual Assault (SAMSSA) and Nguru (Service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members) also became a part of the Canberra Rape Crisis Centre.
This has meant that the CRCC has evolved over many years to reflect in its service provision, many different members of the Canberra community, as well as to provide services to people who have experienced many different forms of sexual violence in both adulthood and childhood.
The Constitution is the association’s main document governing the business of the association. You can view or download our constitution below:
The Canberra Rape Crisis Centre (CRCC) is a non-government, Feminist organisation working collaboratively within service provision systems in the ACT and surrounding areas to provide services and programs to eliminate sexual violence in our community.
We provide a crisis support line, information and referral, advocacy and counselling services to victim survivors of sexual violence. Our services extend to provide community support for First Nations survivors, as well as community education and training programs.
The Canberra Rape Crisis Centre acknowledges that we conduct our work on the lands of the Ngunnawal & Ngambri People, Traditional Custodians of the Canberra region. We pay respect to First Nations Peoples and Elders past and present throughout the nation. We recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities, and acknowledge that lands were never ceded.
