VOCAT Lawyer in Melbourne
Victim of Crimes Assistance Tribunal
If you have been a victim of serious crime that is punishable by imprisonment, you may be eligible for compensation under the Victim of Crimes Assistance Tribunal (referred to as “VOCAT”). It’s important to note that soon VOCAT will be replaced with the Victim of Crimes Financial Assistance Scheme (referred to as “the Scheme”).
This may be a suitable avenue for you to obtain compensation from a crime that has been committed against you, even if the perpetrator has not been charged criminally for the offence. It is important to note that if you obtain compensation from VOCAT or under the Scheme, you may not be eligible to take further civil action against the perpetrator. Accordingly, it is important for you to get legal advice before deciding on what avenue you should take.
We can help assess your eligibility and apply on your behalf for compensation with VOCAT or under the Scheme once this replaces VOCAT.
