If you are a the primary victim-survivor of a crime and you wish to receive information about a convicted offender who is serving a sentence of imprisonment, or who is a forensic patient, you may be eligible to be listed on the NSW Victims Register.
When listed on the Victims Register, victims-survivors are given information about the offender’s status in prison and can include the following information:
- the name of the prison in which the offender is currently imprisoned
- sentence details
- security classifications
- details of any transfer of the offender from one prison to another
- date and circumstances under which the offender will be released (for example, on bail, leave of absence, home detention or parole)
- escape from custody and return to custody
A victim-survivor can be kept informed of the offender’s impending release from custody, if the offender escapes from custody or of any change in security classification that result in the offender being eligible for unescorted absence from custody.
The Victim Support Unit can assist with Parole submissions. For more information, please contact us.
