How it works
Anyone aged 18+ can register with Tika. There are no time restrictions, meaning you are eligible regardless of whether you experienced sexual harm when you were a child, teenager, or adult. There is no cost to register with Tika and our legal service is free.
Not ready to take legal action?
You can still register with Tika even if you're not ready to move forward with legal action. By registering and reporting you'll know you've done something to make Aotearoa New Zealand a safer place
