SUPPORTERS VSS Staff Working with and alongside people that have suffered from the effects of crime is often rewarding, but demanding work. Our team of 35 staff work tirelessly to ensure that victims receive a high quality, responsive service that supports them to cope and recover. Their dedication, skill and commitment to victims of crime is admirable, and we thank them for the key role they play in making a difference in our community. We particularly thank librarian Fiona Hemstock who in 2014 retired after 13 years at VSS. Fiona played a key role in establishing the VSS Resource Centre as the largest victimology resource in the Southern hemisphere. We wish her all the best in her retirement.
