Survivors of institutional abuse, wronged by entities such as government organisations, religious institutions, schools, and volunteer bodies, receive dedicated support throughout the entire process. NSW Survivors of institutional child sexual abuse can seek redress under the National Redress Scheme, initiated on July 1, 2018. While the scheme provides a maximum payment of $150,000 and runs for a decade, it’s strongly recommended that Survivors of institutional abuse seek thorough legal advice before accepting a Redress payment due to restrictions on subsequent common law claims.
Acceptance of redress under the scheme precludes additional common law claims, and only one application is allowed. Thorough documentation is crucial for the initial application, as no further submissions are permitted. Our team has extensive experience in this area, particularly in cases involving public hearings into abuse at institutions.
