New South Wales Consolidated Acts

VICTIMS SUPPORT AND REHABILITATION ACT 1996 - SECT 14

14 Compensation payable to primary victims other than for prescribed expenses

(1) The statutory compensation for which a primary victim of an act of violence is eligible comprises:

(a) compensation for compensable injuries received by the victim as a direct result of the act of violence, and

(b) compensation for financial loss incurred by the victim as a direct result of any such compensable injury.

(2) A primary victim who dies ceases to be eligible for statutory compensation, but a family victim may then become eligible for statutory compensation under this Act. Any pending application for compensation made by or on behalf of the primary victim does not survive the death of the primary victim.

(3) This section does not apply to statutory compensation for prescribed expenses and statutory compensation under this section is not payable for financial loss to the extent that statutory compensation for prescribed expenses has been awarded for that loss.
