Sexual Violence Community Justice System Navigators Program

⁠⁠⁠The Sexual Violence Community Justice System Navigator pilot provides timely information and consistent support to victim-survivors to support their engagement with the criminal justice system.

Project goals

The Sexual Violence Community Justice System Navigator pilot will support people aged 16 years and over who have been the victim of recent or historical sexual violence—whether in adulthood or childhood. This is a two-year pilot that will run in approximately five locations across NSW covering urban, regional and rural areas. Community service providers will be funded to establish a justice system navigator position and will be supported with workforce development.

Through this approach, the pilot aims to: ensure victim-survivors are empowered to make informed choices, enhance access to justice through continuous support from disclosure and throughout the criminal justice process, and improve victim-survivor outcomes

Scope

This is a two-year pilot that will run in approximately five locations across NSW covering urban, regional and rural areas. Models of service will be face-to-face and/or hybrid models of delivery to give victim-survivors choice in the way they receive services and to tailor the model for local context.

The pilot includes:

• Providing accessible information to victim-survivors regarding their rights, reporting options, compensation, court processes and other complex legal and procedural information.
• Assisting victim-survivors to navigate and familiarise themselves with the criminal justice process, including court processes, procedures and facilitate access to appropriate supports.
• Supporting victim-survivors to understand the broad range of available support services and access them as needed.
• Complementing and working collaboratively with existing services including government and non-government providers
