Our Journey:
The Southern Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault and Family Violence (SECASA), is a program of Monash Health and has the responsibility in the Southern Region of the Department of Families, Fairness & Housing (DFFH) for:
The program aims to address barriers to ensure equal access to sexual assault services. The Making Rights Reality Program has a primary focus on resourcing SECASA Counsellor Advocates to provide an inclusive and accessible counselling and advocacy service for victim/survivors with disabilities, and in particular those with complex communication needs or cognitive impairment. Additional work and collaborations with other programs across the service including working closely with Monash Health Disability Inclusion Lead and Sexual Assault Service (SASVic) Inclusion and Equity – Disability Lead.
A Day in the Life:
Making Rights Reality is a program at SECASA that aims to ensure that people with disabilities who have experienced sexual assault or family violence have equal access to counselling, the criminal justice system, and the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal, and is available across all SECASA sites. The program recognises that people living with disabilities, and in particular women with disabilities, experience higher rates of sexual and family violence than others in the community, and increased barriers to accessing services and the legal system. The program is informed by the social model of disability, which highlights that disability results from the interaction of impairments with social, physical or structural barriers, compromising ability to participate in society on an equal basis.
