Financial Assistance

If you've been the victim of a serious crime you may be eligible for financial assistance. These grants can help you cover some of the costs when dealing with the aftermath. There's a specific criteria for each grant that must be met and you'll need to supply additional information to qualify.

You can access financial assistance for things like:

• Assistance to attend court, parole, coroners, restorative justice or other hearing
• Some of the costs of dealing with a homicide, death caused by a criminal act  or other serious crime 
• Trauma counselling following a homicide, death caused by a criminal act or other serious crime
• Funeral costs
• Some of the costs of dealing with sexual violence
