Helping victims of crime

Our department provides information and referral services to victims of violent crime through the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and its victim liaison officers.

Victims receive information about the legal process so that they have a better chance of understanding what is happening and what is expected of them.

Increased funding and support for victims of crime


Victims of crime will have access to faster, more effective financial assistance as well as coordinated support services under sweeping reforms to Queensland's victim compensation scheme.

 

The new Victims Financial Assistance Scheme, which will replace the current scheme under the Criminal Offence Victims Act 1995, will receive funding of $29 million a year - an increase of more than $7 million.

 

This will result in significant increases in the amount of assistance available to the families of victims of criminal violence as well as new categories of funding.
