ACT Government review
The ACT Government is commencing a review into a number of sexual assault cases that were reported to ACT Policing between 1 July 2020 and 31 December 2021. The purpose of the review is to understand the reasons for a low number of cases progressing to charge, including those deemed unfounded, uncleared or withdrawn.
The review formally commenced in May 2022.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, ACT Policing and the Victims of Crime Commissioner formed part of an Oversight Committee, along with an independent chair to guide the work of the review.
The rights, interests and wellbeing of victim-survivors will remain central to each aspect of the review. Victim-survivors and community members seeking further information are welcome to contact Victim Support ACT at SAPRcasereview@act.gov.au or on (02) 6207 0042.
