Can I apply for compensation for property loss?
- No. The victims’ compensation scheme is for pain and suffering applications only.
- A claim for property loss can be made two ways:
- an application made against the offender at the time of sentence; or
- by commencing civil proceedings against the offender.
- Whether or not the claim will be paid is dependent on what assets or financial resources the offender has.
