Women Out West

Women Out West was an innovative project initiated in 1992 by WLRC and aimed at helping Aboriginal women in the far west of NSW.

Funded with a grant from the Law Foundation of NSW, the project used a multi-disciplinary approach to providing legal education workshops, information, advice, and resources on topics including domestic violence, family law and sexual assault.

The report describes the project objectives, legal and health information distributed, and includes maps, fliers, and photos documenting the work.

A practical guide for counsellors about the law on subpoenas. The guide is now in its 3rd edition and covers the law on criminal proceedings, namely sexual assault trials, and family law proceedings. It sets out the law and procedure in the area, with particular reference to the 'sexual assault communications privilege' in sexual assault trials. More importantly, the guide provides practical guidance to counsellors on how to comply with subpoenas and disclosure notices and what steps to take when making an objection on a client's behalf. Included are a number of draft letters to the Court setting out reasons for objection. The guide also provides reference to further resources in the area and contact details for further assistance. Please note that all previous editions of this publication do not reflect the current law and therefore should not be used for guidance in this area.
