About Us
In the Media
Beyond Abuse are often asked for comment in the media as we are considered the peak advocacy organisation in Tasmania for victim survivors of Child Sexual Abuse.
Our CEO Steve Fisher is available to make comment on a range of issues that affect victim-survivors. Being survivors themselves they have a unique insight that the media often seek out.
As well as all the major news networks, Steve has been part of stories on 60 Minutes, ABC SBS, News.com.au as well as numerous, live to air and recorded interviews on radio around Australia.
This is part of the education process Beyond Abuse believe is imperative in changing the way the Australian public think about Sexual Assault and Child Sexual Abuse.
