Each state runs a victims support scheme that can provide counselling, financial assistance and recognition payments. Legal help can improve the application, particularly for complex or historical matters.
Financial assistance helps victims of violent crime pay for counselling, medical costs and lost income, and recognises the harm done.
Each state runs its own victims support scheme with different eligibility and caps, such as Victims Services in NSW and the Financial Assistance Scheme in Victoria.
Understand the next step
Explain the incident, state or territory and any application or decision already made. Ask which assistance scheme the lawyer will assess and whether other support or legal issues need separate attention.
The relevant scheme and a civil claim are different pathways; confirm the scope of advice.
Hobart, Glenorchy and Kingston are grouped for the Hobart & South search. For a transaction or dispute, distinguish between the place you live, the location of the asset and the venue named in any documents.
For victims of crime compensation, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant TAS experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Hobart & South. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Provide a chronology, relevant locations and employer or insurer details, together with forms and decisions already received.
Discuss medical, employment, incident and expense records. Ask who will obtain reports and how access, privacy and expert costs will be managed.
Have any offer, assessment or release explained before agreeing. Clarify what a resolution would cover and whether related claims need separate advice.
Ask for the written meaning of no win, no fee, including expenses, any uplift and possible other costs. The phrase alone is not enough to compare arrangements.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Ask early about notice, claim and review limits in the relevant scheme. Keep the incident date and every insurer decision available for assessment.
Tasmania has a two-tier court system: the Magistrates Court and the Supreme Court, with no intermediate court. Guardianship, anti-discrimination and many review matters are heard by TASCAT. The Law Society of Tasmania issues practising certificates and the Legal Profession Board of Tasmania handles complaints.
Good to know
Usually not. Most schemes require the act of violence to be reported, but not a conviction.
Most matters start in the Magistrates Court. More serious cases go to the Supreme Court of Tasmania. Family law matters are heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Practising certificates in Tasmania are managed by the Law Society of Tasmania. You can check a solicitor's status on its public register or by contacting it directly.
