Victims' rights
Police must treat you with respect, courtesy, compassion and dignity.
Police will inform you about support services and options available to you.
Police will not disclose your personal information unless the law says it must or you say that it is okay.
The Charter of Victims’ Rights is a document which outlines the special rights which you have because you are a victim of violent crime.
Government agencies and non-government agencies which receive money from the government must uphold your rights – including police.
You can complain if your rights aren’t upheld.
You can read the full Charter of Victims’ Rights on our website. Easy-read English and translated versions are also available.

You can also call the Sexual Assault Helpline on 1800 010 120.

Domestic and family violence
If the person who hurt you was someone you were in a relationship with, a family member, or someone who is caring for you, you might be experiencing domestic or family violence.
Support is available for people experiencing domestic and family violence – you can talk to police or a support service. Police or support services can help you apply for a domestic violence order. A domestic violence order is a legal document. It tells someone not to hurt, threaten, coerce or scare another person they are in a relationship with, or were in a relationship with, or a family member. The order tells someone to follow rules like stay away from another person, or not let children see or hear violence.
More information about domestic violence orders is available here.
