A Shorten Labor Government will establish a National Redress Scheme for survivors of institutional child sexual abuse.

The establishment a National Redress Scheme is a key recommendation of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and is a critical part of the process of healing.

Labor will contribute $33 million to the National Redress Scheme.

As part of meeting its responsibility, a Shorten Labor Government will commit an initial $20 million to the establishment a National Redress Agency.

The National Redress Agency will oversee the implementation of a National Redress Scheme for victims of child sexual abuse in institutional settings.

This initial $20 million contribution will support the National Redress Agency to work with state and territory governments and responsible institutions to make this happen. 

The National Redress Agency would report to the Attorney General.
