Police have arrested a 16‑year‑old boy after a 25‑year‑old woman was stabbed on her way to work in Mount Waverley earlier this month. The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries and is receiving treatment. Police investigations are ongoing as authorities work to understand the circumstances surrounding the attack.

 

Acts of violent crime, particularly those carried out in public places, can have significant and long‑lasting effects on victims and their loved ones. In Victoria, victims of crime may be eligible to apply for financial assistance through the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS). This scheme can assist with counselling, medical costs and other recovery‑related expenses.

 

Submit an enquiry if you have been the victim of crime and we can provide practical guidance and help clarify whether support is available and how to begin the FAS application process.
