Adult & adolescent service (age 13 and up)
Our doctors and nurses bring skills and experience from many different specialties. All of our team have been trained in sexual assault care and forensic medicine by MEDSAC.
The quickest way to get a medical examination after a recent sexual assault is to contact Christchurch Police urgently on 03 363 7400. You can talk to the police about what has happened and about your choices. The police will arrange an appointment at Cambridge Clinic for you. If you want it, a police investigation may follow. But you can also decide you do not want further police action.
You can also phone us at the Cambridge Clinic on 03 366 0067, or complete the online call-back request form on our website (please note this service is only monitored during office hours). Someone else can contact us if you cannot. We accept phone calls or online referrals from anybody.
For Inter-SAATS referrals or Non-fatal Strangulation or Suffocation Assessment Service (NFSSAS) enquiries, please contact office@cambridgeclinic.co.nz, or phone 03 366 0067.
