Responding to allegations of sexual assault in SRS

From time to time, residents living in supported residential services (SRS) may be victims of alleged sexual assault. In such instances, it is important that key individuals and organisations that may be involved in responding (including SRS proprietors, officers of the Department of Health and Centres Against Sexual Assault) have a clear understanding of their respective roles.
