The crime victims assistance office, or BAVAC (
Bureau d'aide aux victimes d'actes criminels) is affiliated with the Ministère de la Justice and was created by the
Act respecting assistance for victims of crime enacted in 1988.

To that end, the role of the BAVAC is to promote the establishment of crime victims assistance centres (CAVACS), and to support their setting up and ensure their presence throughout Québec.
