The Family and Community Development Committee of the Victorian
Parliament’s Inquiry into the Handling of Child Abuse by Religious and
Other Non-Government Organisations delivered its final report, Betrayal of Trust, on 13 November 2013.
Betrayal of Trust suggested that the government should consider creating another way for survivors of institutional child abuse to bring claims of abuse against institutions, instead of requiring people to bring their claims to court. Recommendation 28.1 of Betrayal of Trust therefore proposed what is commonly known as a 'redress scheme', normally established to deliver financial payments and other benefits as an alternative to traditional avenues of litigation.
