Medical and Health Services

It is advisable following a sexual assault that you have a medical examination and checkup,
(even if you do not want to report the assault to the police).

If you do not have a doctor that you know and trust, you can phone the Canberra Rape Crisis Centre on 6247 2525 and we can refer you to a sympathetic female or male doctor.
