25.01.2022 For clarification, we are not Victims Assist Queensland. We are a law firm dedicated to helping victims prepare their applications to Victims Assist Queensland. Victims Assist Queensland is the government organisation that assesses and determines your applications, not us. You can choose to prepare your own application with Victims Assist. The benefit of choosing us is that we can help you prepare the paperwork to commence the process.
