Victim Register

In order to register as a victim of crime and be placed on the Victim Register, a victim needs to show that:

• he or she is a victim of a criminal offence 
• the offender he or she wishes to register against is under the supervision of the Department for Correctional Services
• the offender he or she wishes to register against is in prison in relation to the offence, or offences, for which that person is a victim

A registered victim is entitled to the following information:

• the name of the prison in which the offender is currently imprisoned
• sentence details
• security classifications
• details of any transfer of the offender from one prison to another
• date and circumstances under which the offender will be released (for example, on bail, leave of absence, home detention or parole)
• escape from custody and return to custody
