Step by step guide - Consenting to the order for restitution

You have 28 days to respond to an order for restitution, even if you are in prison.

If you consent to the order for restitution, you can’t apply for an objection later.

Step 1: Get the form

You will need one form:

• Consent to the order for restitution
  

The form is included in the order for restitution pack you received from Victims Services.

If you don’t have a copy of the form, you should contact Victims Services on 1800 633 063.

Step 2: Complete the Consent to the order for restitution

You must include the following information in the Consent to an order for restitution form:

• your file number
• your debt number
• your full name and address as the defendant
• the amount of the debt
• the date of the order.

You will need to sign the bottom of the form in front of a witness. A witness can be anyone over the age of 18 years old. 

The witness will also need to write their full name, sign and date the form.

Step 3: Send your completed application to Victims Services

You can email your completed Consent to the order for restitution to vs@justice.nsw.gov.au.

You can also post your completed form to:

     Locked Bag 5118

Keep a copy of your documents before you send it.

Step 4: Wait for a letter from Revenue NSW

Victims Services will confirm the order and transfer the debt to Revenue NSW. 

You will receive a letter from Revenue NSW with options on how to pay the overdue fine.
