The Scheme Executive may, if the Scheme Executive considers it appropriate, authorise the provision of approved counselling services to a person who is a relative of a person killed in a road crime, but is not a family victim, if—
the road crime occurred on or after 1 February 2023, or
the road crime occurred before 1 February 2023 and the Scheme Executive is satisfied there are exceptional circumstances.
The Scheme Executive may also authorise payments for approved counselling services within Australia for a person who is a relative of a person killed in a road crime, but is not a family victim, if the road crime occurred during a period referred to in subclause (1)(a) or (b).
The Scheme Executive may authorise payments under subclause (2)—
for a period of up to 22 hours of counselling, and
for a further period of counselling if requested by the person receiving the counselling.
Payments for approved counselling services provided under this clause to a person who is resident in Australia must be made from the Fund directly to the service provider.
