Victims of Crime Assistance Act 1996: Consultation Papers (pdf and Word)

There were two consultation papers for this inquiry, published in June 2017 and August 2017.  In the initial terms of reference the Victorian Law Reform Commission was asked to review and report  on the provision of state-funded financial assistance to victims of family violence under the Victims of Crime Assistance Act 1996. The Attorney-General, by supplementary terms of reference, then asked the Commission to expand its review to consider the operation and effectiveness of the Act and the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT) for all victims of crime.
