976. Hon AMBER-JADE SANDERSON to the

Under the Criminal Injuries
Compensation Act 2003, how many victims have claimed the maximum amount awarded
for a single offence—that is, $75 000—in the following
financial years —

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(a)–(d) The case management system for the Office of
Criminal Injuries Compensation is unable to provide the information requested.
To answer the question appropriately, a manual review of all case files would
be required. This would be extremely labour intensive and time-consuming for
the resources within the office.
