Victims of Crime Assistance Act 2009

After considering an application for assistance, and any information or documents obtained under this chapter for the application, the government assessor must decide—

to grant the applicant assistance as worked out under this chapter, with the condition mentioned in subsection (2) and any other conditions the government assessor considers appropriate; or

to refuse the application.

The government assessor must impose a condition on a grant of assistance that, if the applicant receives a relevant payment for the act of violence within 6 years after the assistance is granted, the applicant must give the scheme manager written or oral notice of the payment within 28 days after receiving it.

Note—

Failure to comply with the condition imposed under subsection (2) is an offence—see section 141B.
