Hope Street is actively taking steps to become a participating institution in the National Redress Scheme.
The National Redress Scheme commenced on 1 July 2018 in response to recommendations by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The Scheme:
- Acknowledges that many children were sexually abused in Australian institutions;
- Holds institutions accountable for this abuse; and
- Provides support to people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse through access to counselling, a direct personal response from the institution (such as an apology), and/or a redress payment.
We are currently working with the Department of Social Services to fulfil the administrative processes to be declared as a participating institution.
Hope Street has a zero tolerance to all forms of violence, including child abuse, and is committed to creating safe communities which focus on the best interests of children and young people so they are able to thrive in their development and all they do. The organisation promotes the safety and empowerment of all children and young people acknowledging both their individual diversity and cultural heritage.
Please see our National Redress Scheme page for further information.
