A victim of crime? You may be entitled to compensation

If you’ve been the victim of a crime, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the State under the Victim of Crime Assistance Act. This includes sexual assault, home invasion, assault, armed robbery and a number of other types of crime.

Some compensation is also available to witnesses of a crime and parents of child victims.

Payments take into account loss of earnings, safety expenses and medical expenses including counselling. You may also be eligible for special financial assistance of up to $10,000.

 

Call or find us at an office near you for advice on compensation, or download our Victims of Crime brochure.
