The big problem facing the child sexual abuse redress scheme | ABC NEWS Loop
Thousands of child sexual abuse survivors risk missing out on compensation and acknowledgement via the National Redress Scheme (NRS) if it cannot process a backlog of applications before its slated closure in 2028.
Victim-survivors, experts and politicians are calling for an urgent extension to the application deadline and the scheme itself to ensure survivors aren't left behind.
The scheme was set up in response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse for victims to apply for financial compensation and an acknowledgement from institutions of what they suffered as children.
