Victim Support is here 24/7 for people directly affected by crime and traumatic events, including whānau and witnesses.

We support you to feel informed, empowered, safe and able to cope with the impact.

We can help you with:

• Emotional support

We’re someone independent you can talk to. We listen without judgement, and support you to identify ways to cope.

• Practical assistance

We’ll work with you to develop a support plan, access financial assistance if you’re eligible, link you with community resources, and advocate on your behalf.

• Information

We’ll help you understand your rights, what happens next, how to access resources and support you to make informed choices.

• Criminal justice/coronial process support

We’ll help you feel informed, prepared and supported through the justice system, including court attendance costs, if eligible.

• Referrals

You may find our help is enough. However, we’ll help you connect with other support services and counselling when appropriate.

Call us 24/7 0800 842 846

Our support is free, confidential and available even if you don’t report a crime to the Police.
