You may be able to get help from Victims Services
Some young people who have been in OOHC are eligible for support from Victims Services. There are different types of support available depending on the situation, including counselling and financial support. While you are in care your caseworker must check your file to find out if you are eligible, and take care of all the paperwork for you. If you are not sure whether your file has been checked, or if you might be eligible, you should talk to your caseworker. You can ask your caseworker: Am I eligible for victims of crime support? If so, am I involved in the process? What needs to be provided to get victim’s of crime support? You can download Justice Journey App
You can call victim services ph: 1800 633 063 (freecall number), or Aboriginal Contact Line ph: 1800 019 123 (freecall number) or email vs@justice.nsw.gov.au.
