Based in Dunedin, we are the Ōtepoti Collective Against Sexual Abuse (ŌCASA). Until recently we were known as Rape Crisis Dunedin.
We're a non-profit, community organisation run by a Collective of dedicated paid staff and volunteers. We support people of any gender who are survivors of sexual violence, and their supporters including friends and whānau, to progress towards healing. We also provide sexual violence prevention education to high-school students and the community. All ŌCASA members are trained to work in the sexual violence sector. Our Collective consists of many committed and valued volunteers who are here to support you exactly when you need us. And if you do need us, don't hesitate. Reach out and contact us today.
We provide free and confidential services to survivors of any gender from the age of 18 and above.
Our services are for survivors of both recent and historical sexual violence and we also provide services to friends and whānau of survivors who may also be needing support.
