At GRCC, we know healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

That’s why our approach is holistic — caring for survivors’ emotional, physical, and practical needs. Whether it’s crisis counselling, support navigating the legal system, or simply having someone to talk to, we are here - call us on our freephone helpline: 1800 355 355.

Because every part of a survivor’s well-being matters.
