The Third Edition of the Standards of Practice Manual was reviewed by the NASASV Reference Group and a nationally-focussed Expert Advisory Panel, and tested via a national consultation process, with people with lived experience, practitioners, and experts.
The purpose of these Standards is to ensure accessible, high quality and consistent service provision.
This Edition of the Standards provides guidance on the provision of services to adults, children and young people who have experienced sexual assault, and children and young people exhibiting harmful sexual behaviours.

Seeking Help?
Let’s Talk. We are here to listen and assist.
The National Redress Scheme has been created in response to recommendations by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse listened to thousands of people about the abuse they experienced as children. The abuse happened in orphanages, Children’s Homes, schools, churches and other religious organisations, sports clubs, hospitals, foster care and other institutions.
The National Redress Scheme website is for people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse. Please access this site to obtain further information about or to apply to the National Redress Scheme. Applications can be made any time before 30 June 2027.
