| The Victim Service Unit in the Department for Correctional
Services maintains a 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
