NSW Victims Support Scheme

If you’ve experienced an act of violence, you may be entitled to funded counselling through the NSW Victims Support Scheme.

Who this is for

  • You’ve experienced or witnessed an act of violence
  • You’re a primary or secondary victim, or a family member
  • You’d like confidential, funded counselling

What it can cover

Every situation is different, and scheme rules change. As a guide, this pathway can include:

Approved counselling hours through Victims Services
Trauma-informed, paced-to-you support
Sensitive, confidential care that puts safety first

How to start

The simplest first step is a confidential enquiry. Tell us your situation and we’ll explain, in plain language, whether this pathway fits and exactly what to do next — with no obligation.

A calm next step

Reach out when you’re ready

There’s no pressure and no obligation. Send a confidential enquiry or request a call back, and we’ll explain your options — including what you may be entitled to and whether it will cost anything.

Your enquiry is private and secure. We’ll explain who sees your information and how it’s stored before you share anything.
