The Witness Assistance Service (WAS) provides support and information for vulnerable victims and witnesses involved in criminal cases.

The WAS is part of the ODPP and WAS officers are available to provide services through each of the ODPP offices.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander WAS Officers can provide culturally appropriate support across the State to witnesses who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander victim or witness and want support from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander WAS officer, WAS will connect you with the officer for your area.
