The Crime

The law in Victoria says that you are a victim of crime if you have suffered physical injury, emotional injury or financial loss because of a crime.

People who witness a crime and family members of an injured person can also be considered as victims of the crime, because they can also suffer emotional distress.

It can be a difficult and confusing experience, but you don't have to deal with it alone.
