A lump sum fee for advice is payable for Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT) matters only where an application is not subsequently made to the tribunal. If an application is made to the tribunal, the advice fee would instead be included in the total fees allowed by the tribunal.
VLA will only provide further assistance for those professional fees for which an order has been obtained from the tribunal pursuant to section 48 of the Victims of Crime Assistance Act 1996.
| Service/proceeding | Fee payable |
|---|---|
| Advice (if the application is not subsequently made to the tribunal) | $111 |
| Disbursements (without further assistance) | up to $1000 |
