Welcome to a safe space

At Whangārei Rape Crisis, we welcome all people impacted by sexual harm. Our service is safe, respectful, confidential, and grounded in feminist values, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and a strong belief in the ability to heal. We offer emotional support and advocacy to survivors and their whānau and friends. You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out. We’re an accredited service, monitored by Te Kāhui Kāhu to ensure ethical and professional care. If you share information with us, it will be managed in line with the Privacy Act 2020. You are welcome here – just as you are.
