Victims of Crime Fund

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (24 June 2025). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): I have been advised of the following:

For 2024-25, total expenditure from the VOC Fund was $42.3 million and total revenue was $62.6 million. Note these figures are subject to change pending the finalisation of the 2024-25 audit process.

Payments from the fund are expected to exceed revenues into the fund in both the 2025-26 and 2026-27 financial years. This reflects the additional $135 million this government has approved for the National Redress Scheme.
