A submission will be handed to the member for the Northern Tablelands Richard Torbay today calling for a free child sexual assault counselling service to be offered in Armidale.

Last May the state government closed the Armidale Child Sexual Assault Service due to funding changes.

Recent media attention about reports of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church have added renewed vigour to the campaign.
