Welcome to the Victims Services website

Victims Services is part of the Department of Attorney General and Justice in New South Wales.

We provide support and information for victims of crime in New South Wales.

The Justice Journey section of this website helps victims of crime navigate their way through the justice process including what to do when a crime is committed, reporting crime and going to court as a witness.
