What is the CNP program?
The CNP program is a free legal service delivered by WLSQ in partnership with Legal Aid Queensland. The CNP program supports women and not for profit organisations to protect the release of counselling notes to the court in sexual assault matters.
Women can be internally referred to the CNP program if they call the WLSQ Helpline or direct referrals from service providers can be made by completing the WLSQ referral form.
Who can the CNP program help?
Women and not for profit counselling services who are seeking to protect counselling notes from being made available to the court in sexual assault matters.
How can the CNP program help?
Through the CNP program WLSQ can provide advice and, in some cases, representation in court proceedings to seek protection of counselling notes.
How can services refer women to the CNP program?
Women can call the WLSQ Helpline on 1800 957 957, 9:00am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. WLSQ will assess their eligibility for the program internally.
Services can warm refer women by completing the WLSQ referral form. We will contact the woman directly to organise a suitable time for an appointment. Please note, you must provide WLSQ with a safe way to contact the woman.
WLSQ respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, particularly the Turrbul, Jagera and Kabi Kabi peoples and the Yugambeh Language Region on whose lands our offices sit. We pay our deepest respects to elders, past, present and emerging, and recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters and culture. We especially honour First Nations women and the traditions they carry.
