What is the Schedule of Injuries?

The Victims Support and Rehabilitation Act 1996 provides for the payment of statutory compensation for injury received as a direct result of an act of violence according to a schedule of injuries. The schedule of injuries is a table of those injuries for which payment for compensation may be made. Subject to certain conditions the Tribunal will not award compensation for injuries not appearing on the schedule.

Special note:- application for compensation by family members of a deceased victim do not need to refer to the schedule of injuries. Injury does not have to be proved by such applicants.
