If you’ve been impacted by a crime and are unsure where to turn, we can help you understand your options, navigate the system, and access the right support. Where we provide direct assistance, we will support you ourselves. Where another service is better placed to help, we will guide you and make warm referrals.

How We Help
Voice for Victims Foundation supports people affected by crime by providing clear guidance, practical help and connection – particularly where victims are left without a clear pathway to support.
Guidance & navigation
We help victims understand their options and navigate what comes next after crime, including police processes, Victims Assist Queensland applications, insurance matters and court-related pathways. This may involve explaining what to expect at different stages, assisting with the preparation of victim impact statements, and supporting victims through court processes — including attending court with them, or on their behalf where appropriate, to provide reassurance and practical guidance.
Practical support
Where there is no other dedicated support available, we may provide practical, hands-on assistance to help address immediate needs following crime, guided by an assessment of individual circumstances, priorities and safety considerations. This may include assistance such as emergency locksmiths, crime scene cleaning, window or door repairs, short-term accommodation, meals, or other essential practical help. The type and level of assistance available depends on funding and local service availability and may vary across metropolitan and regional Queensland. In some cases, costs may be covered through insurance or other formal processes, and where relevant we can help victims understand and navigate those options, including applications for financial assistance.
Connection & shared experience
Many victims tell us that speaking with others who understand what they’ve been through can be deeply reassuring. Where appropriate, we help connect victims with others who have had similar experiences, so they feel less isolated and better supported as they move forward.
Support with media & public attention
In some cases, victims may face unwanted media attention following a crime. Where needed, we can help victims understand their options, prepare for contact from media, and connect them with appropriate supports to manage public attention safely and confidently.
