FASSTT welcomes the Government's announcement that children and vulnerable families who are currently in immigration detention facilities will be moved into community based arrangements.
Torture is a systematic violation of human rights that is, and must remain, unacceptable under any circumstances.
On 23 June 2011 the Hon Mark Butler MP, Federal Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, launched a new report prepared by FASSTT and funded by the Department of Health and Ageing. The report, From the Darkness to the light: Australia's Program of Support for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (PASTT), provides information about the work of FASSTT agencies, a profile of each member agency and their services, demographic information about FASSTT clients and case studies of FASSTT agency services.
