Am I entitled to compensation as a victim of crime?

The Victims Rights Act does not guarantee victims the right to compensation or restitution for the losses and harm they have incurred as a result of the offence. However, where an injury is sustained there is a degree of compensation that is covered by ACC and a number of ways in which redress can occur through either the Courts or through Family Group and Restorative Justice Conferences. More information is available through Victim Support.
