We specialise in assisting Survivors wronged by government organisations, religious institutions, schools, and volunteer bodies, providing unwavering support throughout the entire process. Currently, Survivors of institutional child sexual abuse in NSW can pursue redress under the National Redress Scheme initiated on July 1, 2018. While the scheme offers a maximum payment of $150,000 over a ten-year period, careful consideration is advised due to restrictions on subsequent common law claims.
Acceptance of redress under the scheme precludes additional common law claims, and only one application is permitted. Providing comprehensive documentation with the initial application is crucial, as no further submissions are allowed. With significant involvement in cases featuring public hearings into abuse at institutions, our team brings extensive experience to every matter.
