Abstract: In remote Aboriginal communities in NSW when family violence or child sexual assault or sexual assault occurs there is a lack of accessible legal services that can assist such victims. Many rural and remote communities have gone for years without access to a counselor, psychologist or sexual assault worker. The solution lies in government departments and community organizations working with Aboriginal communities . All sections of the community must take responsibility by addressing these problems and removing violence from Aboriginal communities.
