Our History
|
|
Victims of Crime NT Inc. (formerley known as VOCAL) was started in 1995 by a group of concerned citizens who felt that offenders were getting more rights than victims of crime. In 1996, as a community organisation, the NT Government granted us funding to operate an office manned by volunteers.
In 1998, to reflect the needs of service delivery requirements, a full-time Executive Officer was appointed.
Since those early days, the organisation has become a 24 hour, 365 day a year service.
In August 2005, the organisation restructured yet again to accommodate growth and two full-time positions were created; a full-time Manager responsible for the business planning and strategic direction of the organisation, and a full-time Volunteer Coordinator who is responsible for the recruitment, training and ongoing supervision of our team of volunteers. These positions are overseen by our Committee.
Our entire team is responsible and dedicated to ensuring we meet our clients' day to day needs.
We are funded by the Department of Justice, within the Northern Territory Government, and for this, our Organisation is extremely grateful.
