Help and support

Sharing your experiences can be distressing, so you may wish to talk to an experienced support service for further help. On this page, you will find contact details for services that can offer support or help you make a complaint or report.

If you wish to find out more information about making a report internally to the New South Wales Police Force, the Safe Reporting Unit provides a confidential service, and you can speak with an advisor for assistance. To contact Safe Reporting, phone 26399 (Eaglenet) or 02 8835 6399.

Please call 000 if you have been assaulted or need emergency help.
