BRAVEHEARTS aims to forge a ‘movement for change’ in how paedophilia is dealt with by the criminal justice sector, government and the community at large and to provide survivors with a voice. Advocating for both healing and preventative strategies, Bravehearts provides comprehensive counselling for children and young people who have experienced, or who are risk of, child sexual assault; advocacy and support for adult survivors; and is actively involved in education, prevention, early intervention and research programs (see 'About Us' for more information on Bravehearts' programs).
 One in 5 Australian children will be sexually assaulted before they reach 18.
