Supporting Families of
Homicide Victims

Founded in June 1993, the Group was established when the parents of Anita Cobby and Ebony Simpson were introduced to each other.  They recognised the very real need to set up an organisation which could offer counselling, support and information to families and friends of homicide victims throughout NSW. It was after this meeting that the counselling section at the Institute of Forensic Medicine started to work with family members to introduce the concept of the HVSG. 

The Homicide Victims’ Support Group (Aust) Inc. (HVSG) is funded by Western Sydney Local Health District, along with generous donations from our members, friends, caring members of the public and our corporate sponsors.
