Those experiencing violence or its aftermath are often highly stressed. Victims of crime support agencies may make a referral for help and advice when people are immediately stressed or distressed. Later on, there may be assessment needed to ascertain the impacts and to prepare for Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal matters. Ongoing counselling helps people to build a new life path and to define ways of feeling safe in the world again.
Referral pathways are often:
- Referral via a victims’ support agency
- Referral via EACH or the Northern Victims Assistance Program for additional counselling
- Liaison via a specialist lawyer for support and assessment reports
- Referral directly from your GP
Referrals via a family violence support agency are bulk-billed on an ongoing basis.
