About
The National Redress Scheme provides support to people who experienced institutional child sexual abuse.
The Scheme:
- acknowledges that many children were sexually abused in Australian institutions
- holds institutions accountable for this abuse, and
- helps people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse gain access to counselling, a direct personal response, and a Redress payment.
The Scheme started on 1 July 2018 and will run for 10 years.
