If you've been injured as a victim of a violent crime, you may be entitled to financial assistance — through Victoria's Victims of Crime Financial Assistance Scheme (which replaced VOCAT).
We help victims of crime claim financial assistance through the Victims of Crime Financial Assistance Scheme (VIC). What you can claim depends on your circumstances — we'll assess it honestly, free of charge.
Most claims settle without a hearing — but if yours needs a court or tribunal, our lawyers represent you in person across Victoria. See the courts we appear at →
Take the free claim check — 2 minutes, no cost, no obligation — and we'll tell you if you have a claim.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at Suite 3, 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
