Legal support services for survivors engaging with the Commonwealth Redress Scheme
The Australian Government is inviting an organisation via a restricted process to apply to deliver services under the Legal support services for survivors engaging with the Commonwealth Redress Scheme for Survivors of Institutional Child Sexual Abuse Program from 2018- 2019 to 2021. Funding will be offered to one organisation as a result of this process.
The objectives of the program are to provide a free legal advice service to assist survivors of institutional child sexual abuse access redress under the Commonwealth or National Redress Scheme.
The expected outcomes of the grant activity are the provision of a free national legal advisory service to assist survivors through the process of accessing redress. The service will be a quality, trauma informed legal advice service that provides survivors with advice on their legal options.
The purpose of the grant activity is to ensure that survivors are provided information and advice about the options available to them, including claims under the Redress Scheme, access to compensation through other schemes or common law rights and claims.
The service will assist survivors applying to the Redress Scheme through keys steps in the redress process.
