Police Referrals Support Victims of Crime in Werribee
Source: Victoria. Attorney General. Media Release
"Victims of violent crime will have direct access to practical support and counselling at Werribee police station under a new support service initiative, Deputy Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said. Mr Hulls said victims of crime would be able to seek direct help from a worker at the police station in a pilot partnership between Werribee Police and the Western Victims Assistance and Counselling Program (VACP). A case manager will be based at Werribee police station, instead of the Western Region Health Centre, for four days a week over the next six months. “It is important for victims of crime to get help as early as possible after a crime has occurred and having support services available at the Werribee police station increases that possibility,” Mr Hulls said. Victims of crime can talk through their concerns in complete confidence with a case manager."
