Is Redress Worth It?

Initially setup for Compensation for Victims, with a Ten Week Payment plan by the Morrison Government in Australia, there are currently 25,000 applicants.

Money promised to victims is as much as $150,000.00

There are currently 68,000 applications with 23,000 outcomes with an average payment of $89,300.

Now it seems Redress is setup for Public Notoriety of Child Abuse in Schools with a Two Year payment plan, perhaps longer, if any payment at all.

Apparently there are victims of this crime that have wasted months of valuable time and effort of correspondence with this program, in turn keeping Public Servants gainfully employed, with no success.

Is the Redress program a Scam?

Are these seemingly trustworthy Government Employees somehow Swindling Money from victims of Child Abuse.

Perhaps the Redress Scheme has turned into a Crime Stopper Watchdog?

Are victims of Child Abuse being coerced into dangerous Crime Stopper reporting with No Reward?

Where is the money that has been Promised to Victims?

Victims are now been put through additional Stresses with Work being sacrificed.

Perhaps Victims are also now undergoing unnecessary and additional Mental Health treatment due to the Stress of the Redress Waiting Room or Cue for their payment.

To my knowledge Redress Staff are unable to fulfill their Obligations.

¹National Redress Scheme Burden of Proof
The National Redress Scheme uses a “reasonable likelihood” standard for determining eligibility, which is less stringent than the “balance of probabilities” used in civil cases. This means the applicant must provide evidence that it is more likely than not that the abuse occurred. The Scheme acknowledges that survivors may not have extensive documentation or records, and personal statements are often sufficient.
More information can be found on the internet.
