Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence Services

Guelph-Wellington Care & Treatment Centre for Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence

The Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence (SADV) Care team at Guelph General Hospital is here to help people who have experienced sexual and/or domestic (intimate partner) violence.  It takes courage to reach out for help. We are here to offer support and care.

We provide free and confidential care to people who have experienced sexual assault or domestic (intimate partner) violence. Police will not be contacted without your consent.

Our team includes nurses for care after an assault or abuse and a social worker for short-term trauma counselling.

Guelph General Hospital is the designated sexual assault centre for the region.  We see anyone from the City of Guelph and Wellington County.  For emergency medical care at any time, please go to your closest Emergency Department.  Our team of nurses are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week at the Guelph General Hospital. No appointment needed. The nurse will be paged immediately. Clients may be offered a private waiting area until the nurse arrives – usually within one hour. Any injuries requiring immediate attention are looked after in the Emergency Department first.

During regular business hours, our team can be reached at:
