Are there any victim supportive services available for trafficked people in Australia?
Yes, trafficked people are victims of serious human rights violations and need support to enable their physical, psychological and social recovery. There is a government funded Support Program for Victims of Trafficking that provides accommodation and financial assistance to trafficked people. The Australian Red Cross manages the Support Program with the Office of Women. There are also a range of anti-trafficking NGOs who provide support services to trafficked people. The Anti-Slavery Project works with the Australian Red Cross and other anti-trafficking NGOs to make sure trafficked people have access to legal assistance and advice.
