Notes:	More than two decades of practice knowledge from the Immigrant Women’s SupportService (IWSS) in Queensland informs this paper. IWSS has a history of 24 years of directservice delivery to women and their accompanying children who are from non-Englishspeaking backgrounds (NESB), who have at any time in their lives experienced domesticand family violence and/or sexual violence. In this Wrap we:bring to light the issues faced by counsellors and women victim/survivors as theytraverse two cultures;define some of the expectations and assumptions that women encounter when theyattempt to access support services;discuss how this can result in exclusion and discrimination for some women; andsuggest good practice for service providers in relation to effective cross-culturalservice provision for CALD background women who have been subjected to sexualviolence.
