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.
If you are unsure whether NCAT can review your decision, contact Victims Services or seek legal advice.
NCAT can review a decision about a recognition payment after the decision has been internally reviewed by the Victims of Crime Commissioner.
After the internal review, the Commissioner will notify you of the outcome and advise you of your right to apply to NCAT for an administrative review.

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.
The defendant can apply to NCAT for administrative review after the Victims of Crime Commissioner determines the objection. If the objection has not been determined within 90 days, the defendant can also apply to NCAT.
