Opened in 1988, STARTTS is one of Australia's leading organisations for the treatment and rehabilitation of torture and trauma survivors.
Our services include counselling, group therapy, group activities and outings, camps for children and young people, English classes and physiotherapy.

STARTTS provided me with a place to ventilate, share experiences and feel comfortable. When I first arrived my memories were strong. As soon as I started to talk about themI could deal with them in a better way. I've learned not to forget, but to deal with those memories.
