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.
