1. Victims compensation should be retained and strengthened, especially for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse

2. Counselling should be culturally appropriate and voluntary

3. Victims need access to justice and any changes to the NSW Victims Compensation Scheme must not apply retrospectively

4. There should be transparent and adequate consultations about any changes to the NSW Victims Compensation Scheme
