“Confirmation from the office of Social Services Minister, Christian Porter that a Federal Government response to a national redress scheme for survivors of institutional child sexual abuse is imminent, is welcome news to UnitingCare Australia,” said Lin Hatfield Dodds, national director of Uniting Care Australia.
“The development of a national redress scheme is critical to ensuring survivors receive justice and healing.
“UnitingCare Australia supports a national scheme and asks Prime Minister Turnbull to lead the Federal Government in working with state governments and relevant organisations to develop an appropriate scheme.”
