A national helpline aimed at preventing child sexual abuse by targeting individuals at risk of offending has been launched, nearly a decade after it was recommended by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

The service, Stop It Now!, is designed to intervene before harm occurs by offering therapy and support to potential and former offenders. It includes a free, anonymous phone helpline, an online platform and self-guided resources.
