Police are appealing for public assistance following an alleged assault in Ferntree Gully that left a man injured.
Victoria Police reported the incident on 10 August 2026 as investigators continued their enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault. Police are seeking information from members of the public who may have witnessed the incident or have relevant footage.
For victims of violent crime, the effects of an assault can continue well after the incident. Physical injuries may require medical treatment, while the psychological consequences can affect a person's confidence, employment and ability to return to everyday activities.
In Victoria, eligible victims of crime can apply for financial assistance through the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS). Depending on the circumstances, financial assistance can be available for things such as treatment costs and safety costs.
Understanding whether a cost may be covered is not always straightforward. Sending an enquiry can provide you with an opportunity to understand the application process and the financial assistance that may be available to you following violent crime.
