The National Redress Scheme was established in response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, providing financial redress, access to counselling, and a direct personal response from the institution responsible. Link-Up (Qld)’s Redress Support Team provides free, specialist assistance to anyone eligible for redress under the Scheme. If you need help deciding if the Scheme is the right option for you, chat with our Redress Support Team. Our experienced counsellors provide confidential support before, during and after the application process. We can also connect you with legal and financial support.
