Voiceup Australia

VoiceUp Australia is about speaking up, exploding the myths, and raising awareness about childhood abuse.
Support for survivors of childhood abuse in all its forms.
VoiceUp Australia is a project of Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre.

VoiceUp Australia is a voluntary group of survivors of childhood abuse and their supporters. We are an organisation based on self-support between adult survivors of childhood abuse.
VoiceUp Australia was formed on the North Coast regional area of Coffs Harbour NSW, Australia in 2013.
We are a support and advocacy group for adult survivors of all forms of child abuse – sexual, physical, emotional abuse & neglect in both institutions, families and society generally.
We are a project of Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, an organisation that makes the community and the people a reference point for getting things done and works to build community strength and resilience.
The aim of our integrated and holistic approach to the implementation of Voice-Up Australia's programmes is to assist survivors to achieve a productive, rewarding and manageable life. We know that by building strength and resilience through support, education and advocacy, survivors in recovery can heal from their trauma history at mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. VoiceUp Australia is made up of survivors with culturally aware knowledge and skills that have been developed from both our lived experience and professional training and education in the field of complex trauma. We are determined to build links with organisations who incorporate the principle's of trauma informed care at all levels of service and provide support and education for for those organisations working towards trauma informed approaches.
