The Scheme:
- acknowledges that many children were sexually abused in Australian institutions
- holds institutions accountable for this abuse
- 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. Applications to the Scheme can be made until 30 June 2027.
