National Victims of Crime Conference 2007 - Sydney 2 & 3 October
The purpose of this conference is to examine Charters for Victims of Crime.The intention is to analyse the processes
of implementation, explore the challenges of compliance including identifying any gaps in compliance and take a closer
look at the various ways of understanding the Charter(s) from the perspectives of both victims and service providers.
The conference will focus on victims rights as victims progress through the criminal justice system.
The sub themes relate to various aspects of Charter principles:
- When a person first becomes a victim of crime
- The investigative process
- Information and support services available to victims of crime
- Pre-court preparation, court and post-court support
- Access and equality for specific groups (such as rights for Children, Youth, People with Disability, Cultural and Linguistically Diverse Communities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Mental Health and Aged)
