NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal

Victims recognition or restitution payments

NCAT can review certain decisions made by the Victims of Crime Commissioner under the Victims Support Act 2013.

These cases are managed by NCAT's Administrative and Equal Opportunity Division.

Victims Services provides support to victims of crime in NSW. Decisions that may be reviewed by NCAT are made by the Victims of Crime Commissioner and delegates of the Commissioner.

What decisions can NCAT review?

Recognition payments

NCAT can review a decision about a recognition payment after the decision has been internally reviewed by Victims Services.

Restitution orders

NCAT can review a decision to make a restitution order against a defendant. Before applying to NCAT, the defendant must first lodge a written objection with Victims Services.
