Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) Redress for a person consists of 3 components:
(a) a redress payment (of up to $150,000); and
(b) a counselling and psychological component which, depending on where the person lives (as stated in the person's application for redress), consists of:
(i) access to counselling and psychological services provided under the scheme; or
(ii) a payment (of up to $5,000) to enable the person to access counselling and psychological services provided outside of the scheme; and
(c) a direct personal response from:
(i) each of the participating institutions that are determined by the Operator under paragraph 29(2)(b) to be responsible for the abuse of the person; and
(ii) each of the partly - participating institutions that are determined by the Operator under paragraph 29(2)(j) to be responsible for the abuse of the person and for which the Operator determines under paragraph 29(2)(k) that a participating jurisdiction is a funder of last resort in relation to the abuse.
Note: For what a direct personal response consists of, see subsection 54(2).
(2) A person who is entitled to redress under the scheme may choose to accept 1, 2 or all 3 of those components of redress.
(3) If 2 or more participating institutions or partly - participating institutions are determined to be responsible for the person's abuse and the person chooses to be given a direct personal response, then the person may choose to be given a direct personal response from each of those institutions, or from only some or one of them.
