Canberra's support service for victims of crime is facing unprecedented demand, highlighted by a sharp increase in the number of victim registrations across the territory.
A major driver of this growth is the adult offenders register, which supports people victimised by adult offenders serving a prison sentence or community supervision orders in the ACT.
Historically administered by ACT Corrective Services (ACTCS), the adult offenders register was officially transferred to Victim Support ACT (VSACT) - a service within the Human Rights Commission - in December 2022.
