Being a victim of crime can be scary, and many people will often feel overwhelmed and lost.
As the Commissioner for Victims' Rights, I've seen first-hand how important it is for victims to be able to access information quickly and feel supported through what can be an incredibly traumatic time.
As well as giving the website a much-needed facelift, we've spent a lot of time making sure the information is easy to find and understand.
Our new site explains what you can expect from the criminal justice system as a victim in South Australia.
This includes:
- what to expect after a crime
- things to think about if you need to go to court
- what compensation you might be entitled to
- where you can go for help.
I encourage you to explore the site, and if there's something you're not sure of or want to know more about, please contact our office at victimsofcrime@sa.gov.au.
Nobody wants to be a victim of crime, but we're here to help if you are.
