Te Rōpū Tautoko
Te Rōpū Tautoko focuses on accountability, safety, and respectful listening, while working to ensure the Church responds consistently and transparently.
Safe to Talk — Kōrero mai ka ora
is a free, confidential helpline available across Aotearoa New Zealand for anyone affected by sexual harm, including survivors, whānau, and those supporting others.
They offer 24/7 support by phone, text, webchat, and email, providing a safe space to talk, ask questions, and explore next steps. Support workers can also help connect individuals with counselling, advocacy, and local services.
This service is independent of the Church, offering an additional avenue of support for those who may prefer to speak with someone outside a Catholic context.
