The National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse (National Centre) is a symbol of hope and an essential vehicle for action for many victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.

Its formation recognises the decades of advocacy by victims and survivors to be listened to, believed, validated, protected, and ultimately supported to heal from the trauma they carry with them. Its focus extends beyond institutional child sexual abuse to abuse that occurs in the family, community, and online.

The National Centre has woven the voices and experiences of victims and survivors into its very fabric.

It acknowledges the strength and expertise that derives from their lived and living experience of child sexual abuse.

The National Centre recognises and honours the diversity of victims and survivors' experiences, identities, and cultural backgrounds—and their contributions to the common purpose of addressing child sexual abuse.
