The National Redress Scheme welcomes the formal announcement that the Western Australian Government will participate in the Scheme.
This significant announcement means that the Scheme will be truly national, now that every state and territory government has agreed to participate. This achieves one of the Royal Commissionâs central recommendations to establish a single national redress scheme to deliver justice for people who experienced institutional child sexual abuse.
This commitment means people who experienced institutional child sexual abuse in Western Australian Government institutions will also be able to access redress. It will also allow non-government organisations to provide redress for abuse which occurred in Western Australia.
Six major churches and charities have also agreed to join the Schemeâ the Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Uniting Church, The Salvation Army, YMCA and Scouts Australia.
Western Australia will need to pass legislation in order to participate, which may happen early next year, but people can still apply from 1 July 2018.
The National Redress Scheme will commence on 1 July 2018. Applications can be submitted online, or in paper form.

Child abuse royal commission: Brisbane Grammar School ex-students demand school acts on sex abuse claims
PHOTO Former students of Brisbane Grammar School who claim they were abused by a former counsellor have requested support and ongoing health care.
ABC NEWS: LEONIE MELLOR
Former Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) students who say they were sexually abused by a school counsellor have attempted to hand-deliver a letter to the school’s board requesting immediate action be taken to address failings of the past.
Several of them took the stand last …
As proven by the differing levels of public & private admissions of guilt, Child-Sexual-Abuse is among the greatest grossly hidden things which should not occur. Many Institutions continue to defend their “leaders”, despite being found guilty. Churches often use their deceptive nature to claim ‘innocence’ under double-meanings & a spiritual power. Some Schools do not want their reputation tarnished, making private settlements to continue unblemished. Sports & Social groups seem most honest, of these wrongful Institutions: still guilty.
In the midnight of black-out curtains
I see that bright light again
though itâs slower this time
spreading across my face
like it wants me to see it
lingering to illumine
but this is not a tunnel to Heaven.
A manâs weight presses down on me
I wonât shift his presence for days
and cries drawn out will remain in my ears
whether fear, pain, horror
itâs clear they are mine
I sound like a child being hurt
with no way out.
That familiar pain in the PFC*
What did they do to me?

The Birth of a Book- The story of a ForgWhy The Impact of Child Abuse otten Australian
…
Sixty years later my friend courageously gave evidence to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Her life has been a battle to recover from the abuse that was perpetrated against her as a child.   Its been an honour to hear and record her story.  Now I just need to find a way so you can hear it too.
Research finds that child abuse harms mental and physical health in adulthood.
Child abuse, Signs of Hope & Study findings.
…
The studyâs lead author, Abigail Millings of the University of Bristol, commented in a research summary that researchers sought to examine how caregiving plays out in families: ââŚhow one relationship affects another relationship. We wanted to see how romantic relationships between parents might be associated with what kind of parents they are. Our work is the first to look at romantic caregiving and parenting styles at the same time.â
The research found â no surprise â that âa common skill set underpins caregiving across different types of relationships, and for both mothers and fathers. If you can do responsive caregiving, it seems that you can do it across different relationships.â
Millings added, âIt might be the case that practicing being sensitive and responsive â for example, by really listening and by really thinking about the other personâs perspective â to our partners will also help us to improve these skills with our kids.â
