The National Redress Scheme Australia

Have you been a victim of institutional child sexual abuse?

The Australian Government launched the National Redress Scheme on 1 July 2018 for victims of institutional child sexual abuse.

The Scheme is meant to be a last resort for survivors claiming compensation.

The Scheme will last for ten years, closing on 30 June 2028. So there is still plenty of time.

But it’s only one option.

We strongly recommend talking to an expert lawyer before applying for redress - a specialist will evaluate your evidence and advise you on making a civil claim, applying for redress and top-ups. You know, once you accept a payment from the Redress Scheme, the door will shut. You cannot make a civil claim once you’ve accepted redress. And you cannot make a second redress claim.

As of January 2020, the National Redress Scheme had received 5,829 applications. 975 actual payments were made. The Scheme is getting quicker at processing applications. And nearly all of the big institutions have joined. The wheels are moving. It’s time to do something.

You can always make a civil claim, then go to the Redress Scheme for a ‘top-up’. An expert lawyer will advise what is the best solution for you.
In some instances, the National Redress Scheme will be the only option for claiming compensation. Particularly where you aren’t sure of names, your memory has faded over time or the institution responsible is defunct.
