Canonical page: https://ailawframework.com/precedents/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/form-vic-fas-other-costs Law stated as at: 2026-10-23 Site index for agents: https://ailawframework.com/llms.txt ## Key facts - Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one. - Practice area: [Victims of Crime Support & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md) - Jurisdictions: Victoria - AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on. - Law stated as at: 2026-10-23 - Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-23 against the official form at victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au and the 3 authorities it cites, for Victoria. ## When to use it Use this after an assistance application, or an application to vary assistance or a transitioned Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal award, has already been submitted, and the cost is a disbursement of making that application. Do not use it for the lawyer's fees for legal services. ## Used for these tasks - [Build the expenses and income loss schedule for a financial assistance claim](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/build-the-expenses-and-income-loss-schedule-for-a-financial-assistance-c.md) - [Index the police, medical and counselling records for a victims' application](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation/index-the-police-medical-and-counselling-records-for-a-victims-applicati.md) ## How AI may be used The tool indexes the request fields and does not write the declaration, the privacy acknowledgement, or any attached statutory declaration. **AI may:** - List the expense lines the file already holds, with the payee, the amount and the document that evidences each one. - Record that a lawyer uses the separate legal-costs application for fees for legal services, and this form for other disbursements. - Diary the FAS helpline 1800 161 136 and the Marra Yattakunar team 1800 849 778 as printed on the form. **AI must not:** - Do not write or sign Part D, including the declaration that the information is true and not misleading, or the collection-notice acknowledgement. - Do not draft a statutory declaration to evidence a non-professional expense. The form allows one as evidence. The tool writes none. - Do not use this form for a lawyer's fees for legal services. - Do not state a cap, a time limit, or a repayment figure. None is printed on this form. **The lawyer checks:** - Confirm an assistance application, or a variation application, has already been submitted. The form says the request is not used before that. - Part D acknowledges offences in sections 65 and 66 of the Victims of Crime (Financial Assistance Scheme) Act 2022 (Vic). The lawyer reads those sections before the client signs. - A professional expense needs an invoice or receipt with an itemisation, an ABN, the business name and contact, and the business payment details. A non-professional expense needs an invoice, a receipt, or a statutory declaration. - Send copies. The form says original documents are not returned. - Health information stays in a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether any disclosure would be a notifiable breach under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). ## Authorities - [Victims of Crime, Other costs payment request form (PDF, June 2025)](https://www.victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-06/FAS-other-costs-payment-request-form.pdf) - [Victims of Crime, Templates and forms for the Financial Assistance Scheme, updated 13 July 2026](https://www.victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au/fas-templates-and-forms) - [Victims of Crime (Financial Assistance Scheme) Act 2022 (Vic), sections 65 and 66, as named on the form](https://www.victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-06/FAS-other-costs-payment-request-form.pdf) ## Official form [Official form](https://www.victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-06/FAS-other-costs-payment-request-form.pdf) ## Where this comes from The official form is published by victimsofcrime.vic.gov.au; this page is a completion guide.
