We know the effects of sexual abuse can be long-standing and can adversely affect one’s mental well-being. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the assault, you can claim under the National Redress Scheme or Common Law. It is possible to claim under the National Redress Scheme if the assault happened when you were under 18 years and in the care of an institution participating in the Redress Scheme. Conversely, you could claim under Common Law. We will advise which is the best avenue for your particular circumstances so you can make an informed decision.
