The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) in Ontario advises the government on the diverse needs of victims, ensuring that the principles of Ontario's Victims Bill of Rights are respected while developing standards for victim services throughout the province. Though the OVC does not provide direct victim support, it conducts research and promotes educational initiatives to foster improved treatment and prevention of victimization.

Governed by expertly appointed members, the OVC plays a pivotal role in connecting victims with available information and resources regarding their rights, the criminal justice process, and services funded by the Victims Justice Fund. The office focuses on consulting with a broad range of stakeholders, including victims and professionals, to enhance victim services and support within the community.
