You might want to go talk to the police

If you talk to the police, you can choose whether to make a complaint which the police will investigate. Just because you talk to the police about what has happened to you, does not mean that you have to make a formal complaint.

If you want to talk to the police and you are not in immediate danger, you can:

Call police via Policelink (131 444)
Go to your local police station

What could happen if I tell someone?
As an adult, if you tell someone about a sexual assault that happened to you when you were a child, they have to tell police unless you ask them not to.
Victims' rights
The police must treat you with courtesy, compassion, respect and dignity.
The police will inform you about support services and options available to you.
The police will not disclose your personal information unless the law says it must or you say that it is okay.
You can complain if your rights aren’t being met.
You can read the full Charter of Victims’ Rights on our website. Easy-read English and translated versions are also available.
Support
If you are in immediate danger, you should phone Triple Zero (000) or go to the emergency department at your local hospital.
You can also call the Sexual Assault Helpline on 1800 010 120
The Sexual Assault Helpline is available to call 7.30am to 11.30pm, 7 days a week.

Financial assistance
If you are a victim of a violent offence in Queensland, including sexual assault or domestic and family violence, you are eligible for financial assistance from Victim Assist Queensland.
Before applying for financial assistance, you have to report the violence to police, a doctor, counsellor, psychologist or a domestic violence service.
Financial assistance can help you pay for medical or counselling expenses if you have been injured. It can also help you pay for travel to appointments and recover earnings if you were unable to work because of injuries. You may be eligible for special assistance as well.
You can find more information about applying for financial assistance here.
Domestic and family violence
If the person who hurt you was someone you were in a relationship with, a family member, or someone who is caring for you, you might be experiencing domestic or family violence.
Support is available for people experiencing domestic and family violence – you can talk to police or a support service. Police or support services can help you apply for a domestic violence order. A domestic violence order is a legal document. It tells someone not to hurt, threaten, coerce or scare another person they are in a relationship with, or were in a relationship with, or a family member. The order tells someone to follow rules like stay away from another person, or not let children see or hear violence.
More information about domestic violence orders is available here.
National Redress Scheme
The National Redress Scheme is for people who suffered sexual abuse as children in institutions.
Redress means recognising the hurt done to survivors of abuse.
Institutions means you were hurt while you were in a place like a church, mission, school, orphanage, children’s home, foster home, detention centre, hospital or sports club.
To be able to apply for redress, you have to be eligible.
