The Joint Select Committee on Implementation of the National Redress Scheme will hold a public hearing on Thursday, 11 March 2021.
The Committee will hear from Redress Support Services and an institutional child sexual abuse survivor.
Among other things, the Committee wants to better understand how Redress Support Services are engaging with the National Redress Scheme across Australia and what can be done to improve survivor engagement with the Scheme.
‘Redress Support Services across Australia must walk alongside survivors,’ said Committee Chair Senator Dean Smith.
‘The Committee wants to learn from Redress Support Services about how the Scheme can better respond to survivor needs, and what steps the National Redress Scheme can take to increase participation in the Scheme’.
