Home Security Support for Victims of Crime in Victoria

You may be eligible if you have experienced a violent crime in Victoria, such as a home invasion, aggravated burglary, assault, or similar offence. Eligibility is assed by the Tribunal under the FAS and depends on your individual circumstances. 

You can find more information on your eligibility by visiting the Victims of Crime website: https://www.victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au/can-i-apply-for-financial-assistance

Safety-related expenses may be considered where there is an ongoing risk to your safety following a violent crime. This can include incidents such as:

• Home invasions or aggravated burglaries
• Break-ins where occupants were present
• Assaults or violent threats
• Other violent acts that create ongoing safety concerns.

Each application is assessed individually. If you require more information we’d recommend visiting the Victims of Crime website here: https://www.victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au/can-i-apply-for-financial-assistance or contacting them for further clarification.

In many cases, yes. Home security measures may be considered where they are reasonably necessary to improve safety after a crime. 

Our quotes are prepared specifically to align with safety-related expense categories used in FAS applications.

Funding decisions are made by the Tribunal. If your application is approved to cover the quoted security items, the cost may be paid in accordance with the FAS processes. We provide transparent, itemised quotes to assist with your application.

No. We are an independent Victorian electrical and security business. We are not affiliated or endorsed by the Victorian Government, the Victims of Crime Financial Assistance Scheme, or any tribunal. Our role is to provide professional security services and supporting quotes for applications.

The Victims of Crime Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) requires itemised quotes for safety-related expenses so decision-makers can assess the request. We provide quotes formatted to make this process easier for applicants.

In most cases, your personalised quote is emailed to you shortly after you submit the form. You can then attach it directly to your FAS application.

In some cases, renters may be eligible, depending on their circumstances and the type of security measure. Quotes are different depending on renters and home owners. Renters are quoted on fully wireless alarm systems and CCTV cameras. Floodlights are however hard-wired and approval under the FAS and permission from the property owner may be required in some cases.

If your application is not approved for the requested items, there is no obligation to proceed with installation. We encourage to wait for confirmation before moving forward.

Time limits can apply under the scheme. We recommend checking the official FAS guidelines or seeking independent advice if you’re unsure.

Our quotes are tailored for FAS applications, but they may also be useful for other purposes depending on requirements. 

Many victims find that practical safety measures such as improved lighting, alarms and visibility help restore a sense of control and peace of mind following a crime. Everyone’s recovery journey is different, and we aim to support yours respectfully.
