What is SafeCare?

SafeCare Inc. is an independent, community-based organisation that provides confidential counselling, treatment, and support services to families where child sexual abuse is an issue. We work with all members of the family where:

• A child has been abused by a family member or where there is concern that abuse may occur and where the adult responsible is willing to acknowledge their offending or their risk and come into a treatment program
• A young person has either been a victim of abuse or who has behaved sexually inappropriately within the family

SafeCare currently provides services in metropolitan Perth and Bunbury, Western Australia to:

• Children
• Adults who have begun to offend
• Partners of offending adults
• Young people
• Other family members

This site provides information on SafeCare for clients, students, educators, referring organisations and the broader community. 

If you have any questions about SafeCare or the material contained on this site, please feel free to contact us.

Young People's Programs

SafeCare has been helping people affected by child sexual abuse in the family since 1989. SafeCare is an independent agency based in the heart of Fremantle. SafeCare helps people referred by government departments through counselling and other support. It integrates the treatment of offenders with support for victims and other family members and works in a constructive way. The SafeCare model seeks to help all those affected by inappropriate sexual behaviour within the family.

There are services available specifically for adolescents. The Young People’s Programme caters for adolescents between 12 and 18 years who have behaved sexually inappropriately within the family. Families can contact SafeCare directly (fees are charged on a sliding scale) or alternatively, referrals can be made through DCD. Contact Us for more information about SafeCare’s services for adolescents or fee structure.
