The National Redress Scheme was established after the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse recommended setting up a less traumatic, non-adversarial alternative to seeking compensation through the courts. Redress consists of three things: a monetary payment, access to counselling, and an opportunity to receive an apology from the institution, called a Direct Personal Response.
This ‘How-To’ explainer features a personal story from a survivor who sought redress through the National Redress Scheme. We'll also hear reflections from a former Royal Commissioner, a legal expert, redress support service workers, and a counsellor. This episode is specifically designed to help potential applicants (and their supporters) understand the scheme, its benefits, how to access it, and what they might be able to expect from the experience.
Originally completed in 2021, this episode was updated in June 2024 to reflect recent legislative changes intended to improve the Redress Scheme.
Featuring (in order of appearance): Tony Daly, Commissioner Robert Fitzgerald AM, Prue Gregory OAM (SAMSN’s Policy, Advocacy & Stakeholder Relations Manager), Rachel Neil (Principal Lawyer, Knowmore Legal Service), David (SAMSN planned support worker), Gill (SAMSN counsellor).
