Author: Australia. Parliament. Joint Select Committee on oversight of the implementation of redress related recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
A National Redress Scheme is being considered as part of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, to manage compensation for the victims of institutional child sexual abuse in Australia. To help the Royal Commission with its work, this report was commissioned to estimate possible participant volumes, costs, and funding requirements associated with such a scheme. This includes estimates on the characteristics and counselling needs of claimants, and reviews of current state-based redress schemes.
