Charter of Victims' Rights

The Office of the Interim Victims’ Commissioner has translated the Charter of Victims’ Rights into 7 different languages to help victims of violent crime from culturally and linguistically diverse communities better understand their rights.
For the first time, information on the Charter of Victims’ Rights has been translated into seven different languages – Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish, Punjabi, Wik Mungkan and Torres Strait Creole (also known as Yumplatok or Ailan Tok). It is also available in Easy English.
These resources are available on the Office of the Interim Victims’ Commissioner website
