A parliamentary committee inquiring into the operation of the National Redress Scheme is expecting to finish its inquiry in October 2024.
If you have been thinking about making a written submission, you should send it to redress@aph.gov.au as soon as possible. Submissions will close on 2 September 2024.
The National Redress Scheme was established in response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The Committee’s role is to oversee implementation of the Royal Commission’s redress-related recommendations.
