Trusted Professionals

At RISE, we believe survivors deserve access to compassionate, credible professionals who understand their journey. That’s why we’ve created this dedicated space to feature trusted legal professionals, social workers, and counsellors who volunteer their time and expertise to support survivors through our organisation.

This directory highlights professionals who have already given generously to RISE, offering their skills to help those affected by domestic violence, abuse, and related challenges. Each listing is provided for information purposes only, allowing survivors and the broader community to connect directly with professionals they feel comfortable reaching out to.

How it works

  • The professionals listed here are volunteers who have supported RISE’s mission and demonstrated a clear commitment to survivor-centred care.

  • Any engagement or arrangement you choose to enter into is strictly between you and the professional.

  • RISE does not facilitate private bookings, is not party to any private agreements, and receives no financial benefit from these connections.

  • This ensures we remain a completely independent, unfunded, survivor-first organisation.
