Victims of crime

Victims of crime may include the direct victim as well as anyone who has been impacted by the crime (for example, bereaved family members or friends of the direct victim).

As a victim of crime:

• You can make a written submission to the Adult Parole Board (the Board) and have your say about the crime’s impact on you. You can also suggest parole conditions for the Board to consider. For more information, see victims of crime – make a submission and have your say
• You may be eligible to join the Victims Register (please note, the Board is independent and does not manage the Victims Register). Registered victims receive information about the offender. For more information, see Victims Register – register to receive information about a prisoner/offender
