Victims of crime in NSW can register to be kept informed about changes to the offender’s custody arrangements.

If the offender is an adult, registered victims can be told, for example, where they are being held, if they are going to be released soon, if they escape, and if they die.

If the offender is a juvenile, victims will not be told where they are being detained or their actual release date, but can be informed if they are given approval for leave, their release is coming up, parole is pending, they escape, and the general area they are living in after being released.

There are three victims registers in NSW:
 

• Corrective Services Victims Register PH 02 8688 0555
• Specialist Victims Register for when the offender is mentally ill or impaired (Victims Services, PH 1800 633 063.
• Juvenile Justice victims register (Juvenile Justice NSW, PH 02 8346 1406.  Switchboard 02 8346 1333).
