Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are support programs offered by employers to help their staff deal with problems that might adversely impact upon them, such as traumatic experiences including armed or violent robbery and physical or sexual assaults, either in the workplace or elsewhere. In such situations another form of assistance, other than via EAPs, is through Crime Compensation which may provide financial and other no cost support services.

Where a crime has been committed against a person Victims of Crime Counselling and Compensation Services (VOCCS) can provide free, prompt and professional support to aid in their recovery. For more information call us on 1800 000 055 or make an enquiry now at www.victimsofcrime.com.au
