Australia’s The Morrison government has put more than A$11.7 million in extra funding into the national redress scheme, as parliament prepares to mark one year since child sex abuse survivors received a national apology.

The extra money aims to make the application process for redress quicker and easier, with advocates recently describing the A$3.8 billion national scheme as frustrating, slow, and difficult.
