Funding for support agencies

We provide funding to not-for-profit agencies that support victims of violent crime in Queensland.

Victim Services Funding Program 2022–27

We will allocate more than $17 million over 2022–2027 to community organisations to provide free or low-cost services to victims of crime in Queensland. This funding will be distributed across 5 streams:

  1. Trauma-informed victim support for all victims
  2. Trauma-informed support for young and adult males who are victims of sexual violence.
  3. Trauma-informed support for young and adult victims of violent crime who have an intellectual disability.
  4. Trauma-informed support of people who have been affected by the crime of homicide.
  5. Trauma-informed specialised support for child, youth and adult victims of crime interacting with the criminal justice system, and for children and youth who provide evidence to court
