  • Accessing support for your child following sexual harm/assault

    If your child has been sexually harmed and you would like to speak with someone, you can contact Gatehouse Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm on (03) 9345 6391.

    Please note: Gatehouse provides services to children and families who live in Brimbank, Melton, Moonee Valley, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, Hobsons Bay and Wyndham LGAs or are inpatients at The Royal Children's Hospital.
