The Crisafulli Government is putting victims first and delivering more support for victims of crime with a $300,000 grant to help the Voice for Victims Foundation develop their victim-led support service.
We promised we would deliver more support for victims of crime and that's exactly what we're doing.
The Voice for Victims Foundation started as a grassroots movement and grew into a registered charity in March 2026, providing practical and emotional support to Queenslanders affected by crime.
Under the previous Labor Government victims of crime rose 193%, the rights of offenders were put first, and victims were not given the support they deserved.
The Crisafulli Government will always prioritise the rights of victims, unlike Labor who voted against the latest tranche of Adult Crime, Adult Time and have a plan to weaken youth crime laws by raising the age of criminal responsibility.
The Crisafulli Government is delivering stronger laws, more police, and more support than ever before for victims of crime, after Labor created a Youth Crime Crisis by watering down the laws and putting the rights of offenders ahead of victims.
Minister for Youth Justice and Victim Support Laura Gerber said the funding delivered on the Crisafulli Government's commitment to supporting victims of crime.
"We made a commitment to Queenslanders to restore safety where you live and to reduce the number of victims of crime in this state, and we are working every day to deliver on that promise," Minister Gerber said.
"Under Labor, victim numbers skyrocketed, the rights' of offenders were put first, and victims were left without the support they deserved.
"We will always prioritise the rights of victims over the rights of offenders, and this funding delivers on our commitment to ensuring victims of crime get the support they need to recover and rebuild their lives.
"The Crisafulli Government has delivered more support for victims than ever before, and we will continue delivering the change needed to put victims first and turn the tide on Labor's Youth Crime Crisis, with stronger laws, more police, early intervention and rehabilitation."
Voice for Victims Foundation Chief Advocacy Officer Trudy Reading said the Voice for Victims Foundation was a victim-led charity that provided practical support and guidance to victims of crime in Queensland.
"We are here for any victim who reaches out, but we focus our most intensive support on victims of serious violent offences such as violent property crimes, grievous bodily harm, and attempted murder - areas where support gaps have historically existed," Ms Reading said.
"Our goal is simple: to stand beside victims and make sure no one has to face the aftermath of crime alone."
