Redress for victims of childhood sexual abuse who will receive nothing though entitled to, thanks to the Royal Commission into institutional child sexual abuse.

 Hi, many people who were sexually abused by institutions will never receive any compensation for their suffering thanks to the complete inaction by past and current governments. Only the institutions that opted into the redress scheme make a victim elligible.

The many institutions who did not opt into the scheme such as defunct, refused or criminal organizations make those that suffered again forgotten and with no hope of an apology or the small amount of compensation available to victims.

Imagine if your father or mother or your nearest and dearest were treated in such a manner. 

Consider how being sexually abused as a child would affect anyone and the impact on their life. 

Victims are then again traumatized by trying to tell others and often not being believed as a child. 

Many of us have made statements to Police and the the Commission just to be elligible to be considered for a relatively meagre redress payment and never informed we were not considered worthy.

The government in effect acts like an insurance company where it saves money denying claims by inelligibility, waiting for the client to die or becoming so distressed that they give up.

It appears that this Royal Commission has been for the benefit of the legal profession more so than any other group.

The legal folks with the exception of KNOWMORE have made the situation worse.

We the forgotten have little to no voice in trying to get a fair outcome for the years left to us.

Please consider us and remember the ANZAC spirit of looking after your mates.
