Australian Royal Commission of Inquiry Into Child Sexual Abuse
In November 2012, the Prime Minister of Australia announced a Royal Commission inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in Australian institutions. A Royal Commission has the highest possible powers and can require people to attend and give evidence. The inquiry will investigate decades of child abuse in churches, schools and foster homes and address “institutional responses to child abuse” by a range of institutions. It will take several years to complete.

WINGS for Truth 
No where here have you acknowledged that the group has failed to sign up to the scheme so survivors have no redress.
Survivors do not get anything from this scheme currently- bc no one has gotten the workers & elders to be accountable.
You shouldn’t really have this on here if the scheme actually doesn’t support survivors from this church, it’s misleading.
If you want this on your page, you should be advocating loudly & hard for the church to sign up & pay up. So far, that’s not what you’ve been doing at all.
WINGS understands that the workers have applied to be included in the National Redress Scheme.
