To improve services and responses to victims of crime, it’s important to hear your views and experiences. Learning from those whose lives have been affected by crime makes this work possible.

From time to time this section will feature surveys, seeking input from various groups.

You will never need to identify yourself or provide personal details to participate in such surveys.

Victim Support Australia study on procedural justice for victims of crime

Your story as a victim of crime is important. You can help build a national picture about victim experiences.

Victim Support Australia in partnership with the University of Melbourne are running a national survey for victims of crime aged 18 years or over. The survey asks victims about the kind of crime they experienced and how it affected them, who they told about the crime (including the police, lawyers, court staff and victim support services) and how they feel about their contact with these agencies.

The survey does not require any special computer skills, and will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete.

Take the survey.
