Nobody wants to have that stigma or title of being a Child Abuse “Victim”.

We can’t change the past but we can help you through the hurdles of being a male “Survivor” of childhood abuse. 

You can be more than just a survivor too, but a person that “Thrives!”

Because through adversity comes great strength!


It takes men, on average, 25.6 years to disclose their childhood abuse.

What can SOCA do for you?

We could simply offer an empathetic ear or help you find a professional therapist that specialises in childhood abuse victims. 


Our Peer-to-Peer support group of other Male survivors with similar lived experiences can be a safe place to share your struggles and learn from others.


You may wish to bring your perpetrator/institution to justice which may mean criminal or civil litigation, accessing the National Redress Scheme or confronting your abuser. Whichever your choice, we can help you through it.


Our supporters and advocates are also working in the background to lobby for legislative review and change, improved funding and services for survivors and ensuring institutions act with integrity, empathy and accountability. 

Who We Are

Anywhere between 1 in 6 to 1 in 10 men were sexually abused or sexually assaulted as children.
