We use your personal information to determine your eligibility to register, and to administer all aspects of the CSNSW Victims Register.
At the time of your application, we may disclose your personal information to the NSW Police Force, Department of Public Prosecutions, or other Government agencies for the purpose of verifying your details or eligibility. We may request supporting documentation from these agencies as a part of the assessment process to determine your eligibility. CSNSW Victims Register employees will also have access to your information.
In some circumstances, your information may be given to the NSW State Parole Authority or the Serious Offenders Review Council so that they may fulfil their obligations towards you as a victim.
