If you have been injured by violent crime at home, school or in the community, support is available. This can include people who have experienced:
- an assault
- sexual violence
- domestic and family violence
- child abuse
- other personal crimes
- threats of violence.
If you have not reported the violence yet, it’s not too late to make a police report.
Sexual assault and domestic violence victims can report to a doctor, sexual assault counsellor, domestic violence counsellor and/or police.
You can apply for a special assistance payment and recovery expenses—learn more about financial assistance.
If you need emotional support, counselling or case management, call VictimConnect on 1300 318 940.

Victim Assist application process
If you use our online form to apply, your application will be securely emailed to Victim Assist Queensland. You will receive a submission ID number. This is a temporary reference number.
When your application is registered, you will receive an email that:
- tells you what happens next
- includes your permanent application reference number.
Save this reference number—you will need it if you contact us about your application.
After your application is registered, we will review it. This is to confirm whether you are eligible and to see if you can get an immediate payment.
We will fully assess your application to make sure you are provided with all available supports.
