Built on Experience. Delivering Support. Driving Recovery.

Any victim of crime in Queensland can contact us. This includes people directly affected by crime, as well as family members, loved ones, witnesses and others impacted by a serious incident.

If another specialist service is better placed to help, we’ll support a warm connection. Where no clear pathway exists, we’ll step in and help where we can.

We provide comprehensive, ongoing support for victims of certain serious violent offences where dedicated services are limited or unavailable.

However, anyone affected by crime can contact us. We’ll help you understand your options and connect you to appropriate support – whether that’s through us or another service.

Yes. Advocacy remains an important part of our work.

While the Foundation now focuses on delivering direct support to victims, we continue to advocate for systemic change informed by lived experience – working constructively with government, agencies and communities to improve outcomes for victims.

Voice for Victims Foundation currently supports people affected by crime in Queensland.

Anyone in Queensland can contact us, including people living in regional and remote areas. The level of practical assistance we’re able to provide may vary depending on location, funding and the availability of local services, but we will always take the time to listen, provide guidance and help identify the most appropriate next steps.

At this stage, our services are focused on Queensland and we are not able to provide ongoing support to people living outside the state. We are working to expand access to practical assistance across regional Queensland as our services and partnerships grow.

Under Queensland law, a person is legally recognised as a victim where they have been directly harmed by a criminal offence. For the purposes of compensation and formal processes, this definition is limited.

Voice for Victims recognises that the impact of crime often extends beyond this definition. We believe that family members and loved ones affected by serious crime, as well as witnesses and others directly impacted by a criminal incident, can also experience significant harm and distress.

While legal systems often focus on the person directly harmed by an offence, our approach recognises the broader human impact of crime and responds with compassion, guidance and support.
