Meet the Commissioner for Victims of Crime, Western Australia
Ms Kati Kraszlan was appointed the Western Australian Commissioner for Victims of Crime in August 2020.
Ms Kraszlan has spent many years in the Department of Justice, where she was part of the design and implementation of both the Drug Court and the Joondalup Family Violence Court, as well as developing the international award-winning West Kimberley Regional Prison.
While Acting Commissioner from 2017, Ms Kraszlan helped facilitate the State’s new family violence laws, delivered the National Redress Scheme in WA for victims of institutional child sexual abuse, helped develop a fund for the funerals of homicide victims, and the introduction of the State’s landmark ‘revenge porn’ laws.
Ms Kraszlan says her priority is to help victims of crime navigate the complexity of the criminal justice system.
