About the Ontario Victim Services Secretariat (OVSS)

The Ontario Victim Services Secretariat (OVSS) is here to help. OVSS works to ensure that victims of crime are treated with respect and receive the information and services they need.

No one is prepared to become a victim of crime. It is a traumatic and difficult experience. OVSS recognizes these hardships and is committed to providing victims with the support and services they need in the communities where they live.

What We Do

OVSS provides direct services to victims of crime across Ontario and funds community organizations that deliver support services to victims.

We provide leadership for victims of crime in:

  • Policy development
  • Program design
  • Frontline service delivery

OVSS supports the expansion of provincial victim services in communities across Ontario to ensure proper planning and implementation at the community, regional and provincial levels.
