VOCAL’s vision is to shape the future by validating, honouring and empowering victims of crime. VOCAL strives to build a safer, more compassionate community for all.

Our mission is to provide compassionate, confidential, and practical support to individuals affected by violence, abuse, and trauma. We are dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive environment where victim-survivors can access the resources, guidance, and advocacy they need to heal and rebuild their lives. Through individualised care and support, education, partnership building and community collaboration, we strive to promote resilience, and inspire hope for a future free from violence.

Our team has a deep understanding of trauma and its impact, and we prioritise creating a safe and supportive environment where victims feel heard and respected. We are passionate about helping people become empowered to navigate the challenging aftermath of crime.

Our objectives include:

1) To protect and assist victims of crime

2) To advance the interest of victims to the public, media and institutions

3) Advocating for systemic change by making submissions to the government, amplifying the voices of victims, and working to achieve justice for them and their families.
