Have you experienced sexual abuse or harrassment within the Anglican Church?
Anglican Support for Abused People:
1800 017 286
The Anglican Church in Tasmania has for some years
operated a toll free telephone line to provide help and
support for
- any person who feels they, or someone they know has
experienced sexual abuse or harassment within the
Anglican Church.
- anyone who has been distressed by reports of such
matters.
- any person who has concerns or complaints in this
area.
The support person on the line will listen and talk with
you, maintaining complete confidentiality. You need not even
give your name.
No information will be passed on to the Anglican Church
unless you give express permission. However if you have
concerns or complaints you wish to pass on to the church,
the support person can assist you to do this.
The telephone service is usually available Mon to Fri 9am
to 5pm.
