The CIPNetwork is for professionals and advocates who are actively (or are preparing to start) working in fields related to cult education, research, recovery, support or legal reform in New Zealand and Australia.

​

If you'd like to contribute to our work and are considering membership,  please reach out by filling in the Expression of Interest (EOI) form.

Interested in becoming part of our network?

The CIP Network is interested in finding more like-minded professionals and advocates to join us in our work. If you are based in New Zealand or Australia, and are a professional interfacing with cult survivors, or you are a survivor advocate, we would be interested in hearing from you.

 

The Expression of Interest (EOI) form is so we can determine if you are a fit for the network, and to get to know you a bit better. The form is for internal use only and information will not be shared outside of the leadership group (and only for the purposes of vetting your application) unless you approve wider communication of the information you submit. Once we receive your expression of interest (EOI) form, someone will be in contact with you.
