Our Service

The TRC is a community-based clinic but will also provide initial prison in-reach services to support future clinic patients, to optimise safety and treatment success. The initial focus of the service will be the provision of evidence-based assessment and treatment for problem sexual behaviours. In the longer term, the clinic will also focus on other problem behaviours.
