'We don’t know what to tell abuse survivors’

Survivors of sexual abuse in day schools have been inundated with calls from people coming forward about their own abuse who are seeking advice on redress, prompting calls for a dedicated helpline.

Following a recent review, which found the State is imposing an “illogical” requirement on victims of abuse seeking compensation, survivors who highlighted their cases publicly are now being approached by other victims who want to know if they qualify for redress.
