The purpose of the report is to provide the Government Assessor with information necessary to decide a grant for financial assistance to pay for, or reimburse, the costs of goods and services that the victim requires to recover from the physical and psychological effects of an act of violence.

Your consent is needed for a criminal history report to be obtained. The Government Assessor has to decide whether the primary victim was involved in the criminal activity when the act of violence occurred. Under Section 69 of the Victims of Crime Assistance Act 2009, the Government Assessor can obtain the victim’s criminal history and/or a description of the circumstance of a conviction for an offence mentioned in the criminal history. This information will be obtained from the Queensland Police Service.

An application form for seeking changes to the assistance you receive. This form is to be completed if you are a primary victim, witness secondary victim or a related victim of an act of violence and the act of violence occurred in, or relates to, your workplace and you have made an earlier application for assistance in relation to the act of violence.

As a victim of crime in Queensland, you have rights. The Fundamental Principles of Justice below describe the treatment you are entitled to receive from Queensland Government agencies and officers. You have the right to make a complaint if these principles are not met.

Under the Victims of Crime Assistance Act 2009 (the Act) all Queensland Government agencies must comply with the Fundamental Principles of Justice detailed in the Act. Agencies must also have guidelines and processes in place for dealing efficiently and effectively with complaints from victims of crime.

A complaint form can be lodged if you consider that a Queensland government agency or officer has engaged in conduct that is inconsistent with one or more of the Fundamental Principles of Justice for victims.
