Doctors for Sexual Abuse Care
DSAC is a national organisation of doctors and nurses, formed in 1988, to advance knowledge and improve standards of medical care for those affected by sexual abuse. DSAC as an organisation is an education provider not a clinical service provider. It is the only professional medical organisation in New Zealand which provides comprehensive training courses in forensic medical examinations for sexual assault.
The organisation has produced a number of publications including information pamphlets on aspects of medical care of sexual abuse for adults and children, in addition to a National Liaison Directory of resource people working in sexual abuse management, which can be accessed on the website.

We are a group of young people who run an organisation providing support, contact and education for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Fa’afafine and Takataapui youth. So what does it mean if you like someone who’s the same sex as you? What if you think you might be Gay? Or Lesbian? Or maybe Bisexual? Well that’s why we’re here.
Our aim at Rainbow Youth is to help young people to discover who they are and find strength in that. We can answer questions, provide information or get you in touch with our social groups Identity, Generation Q and Gender Quest.
We’ve been operating since 1989, talking to young people and schools about:
- Coming out to family and friends
- Being safe if you’re having sex
- Plus healthy relationships
