Before you speak to police, we recommend that you contact a lawyer to discuss what you say to police.

Police will usually say before the interview ‘this is your opportunity to tell your story’. Be wary of this advice! You are under no obligation to make a case against yourself.
It is essential that you get legal advice before you comment to police on the allegations, if this is possible. It is important to know that in Victoria you do not have a right to be legally represented at interview.
