What is Considered Assault?
Assault includes any intentional act that causes physical harm, fear, or distress to another person. It can be classified as:
- Physical Assault – Hitting, punching, slapping, kicking, or any unwanted physical contact causing injury.
- Sexual Assault – Any non-consensual sexual act, including groping, molestation, rape, or coercion.
- Threats & Intimidation – Verbal or non-verbal threats that cause fear of harm, even without physical contact.
- Domestic & Institutional Abuse – Assault occurring within families, workplaces, schools, or religious institutions.
Are There Time Limits for Submitting Assault Claims Against Family/Friends?
Yes, most sexual and physical claims should be made within three years from the date of the assault or when it was discovered. Under the Victims’ Support Scheme, adult victims must claim financial assistance for economic loss within two years of the incident. For child victims, no time limits apply. Time limits have been removed for civil claims related to child abuse under NSW law.

How Do I Claim Compensation Against Family/Friends?
If you have suffered physical or psychological injuries due to sexual or physical assault by a family member or friend, you may be eligible for compensation. For public place assaults, you can claim against the organisation responsible for your safety. Filing a claim against the perpetrator, known as an intentional tort claim, requires evidence such as a police report or criminal charges against the offender.
To determine your eligibility and start your claim, contact our expert compensation team today at 1800 773 880.

Wyatts operates on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning you won’t pay legal fees unless your case is successful. This allows you to pursue your claim without financial risk. Always check what is covered under the No Win, No Fee agreement to avoid unexpected costs.
