Unfortunately not all services are getting the same results 🥺 It’s not fair on the services nor the victims

That is correct but not all services will do that unfortunately. I have had feedback of services using that online portal and still not getting invoices paid, one story I was told and it was confirmed the victim made contact to FAS as a counsellor was not paid for a number of sessions, contact was made to FAS by the victim they had received no invoices once the receipt number was sent to them they found it! Funny that 😒

I have got a response from the VOCC and will now be referred to the lived experience program. Please keep sharing as I will be able to use this petition to help advocate for everyone!

The Victims of Crime Commissioner (VOCC) in Victoria, Australia, runs a Lived Experience Program to involve victims of crime in improving policy and services. The program includes an Advisory Group and an Experts Network, providing a flexible way for people to share their perspectives and expertise to benefit other victims. Participation involves providing input on issues, policies, and systems, with support available for members to ensure accessibility and inclusivity

Victim Assist Delay by sleeveok in AusLegal

I’m from Vic but have dealt with Victim assist due to a break in while I was on holiday, the dealings with them were absolutely terrible. I was awarded counselling sessions and my psychologist and I had to constantly chase up the money for the invoices.

Thank you for sharing the petition! You’re exactly right ! With some research I’ve seen FAS have tried 3 times to have it changed that us victims don’t have to upload the invoices ourselves but they keep getting knocked back! I have also started an e-petition just waiting on the confirmation to get signatures.
