A list of Queensland-based institutions that have joined the National Redress Scheme, as at 4 July 2023.
Australia Criminal Law

All state and territory governments as well as the Commonwealth have joined the National Redress Scheme, and over 600 non-government institutions have joined the Scheme since July 2018. Collectively, these institutions cover approximately 71,000 sites such as churches, schools, homes, charities and community groups across Australia.

The maximum amount of redress payable to victims of child sexual abuse through the National Redress Scheme is currently $150,000.

You can make an application for redress at any time, but applications cannot be assessed until the responsible institution, or institutions, have fully joined the Scheme.

If an institution hasn't joined the scheme, or you don't wish for the $150,000 cap to apply, you may instead make a claim through common law. Common law claims often result in a much higher amount of damages being paid to the victim, even after legal fees.
