RFQ: Evaluation of Sexual Assault Counselling Privilege Legal Assistance Services: 2017-20, DJAG
Tender ID: 355313
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Department of Justice and Attorney-General is seeking quotes for the delivery of an independent evaluation of the implementation of the statewide sexual assault counselling privilege (SACP) legal assistance services (the services).
The network of legal assistance support available to vulnerable and disadvantaged Queenslanders is known as the ‘service system.’ SACP legal assistance services are a new component of this service system. In August 2017, the Queensland Government allocated $1.588 million over 2017-20 to Legal Aid Queensland (LAQ) to establish the services, which provide legal advice and representation to sexual assault victims and counsellors who seek to prevent disclosure of counselling communications in court. The services are delivered in partnership with the Women’s Legal Service (WLS). Both LAQ and WLS have employed an in-house senior lawyer and administrative support. Further, LAQ have made grants of aid available for representation available to a statewide specialised panel of lawyers.
Professionals seeking assistance (e.g. psychiatrists, psychologists and counsellors) are provided education sessions on the SACP, as well as legal assistance services to support them in the practical application of SACP.
