Welcome
Welcome to the Baptist Churches of NSW & ACT Redress Scheme – Information Portal.
Our mission as an Association of Baptist Churches in NSW & ACT is to Advance the Gospel of Jesus in word, sign and deed, together. Part of our gospel witness and our commitment to building healthy churches is to endeavour to ensure our churches are safe places, and also to ensure we respond appropriately when people have been harmed.
The National Redress Scheme is designed to give survivors of childhood sexual abuse within institutional contexts an opportunity to receive redress for wrongs perpetrated against them without needing to resort to legal action.
This will be the central location for all resources and updates relating to your participation in this scheme.
Please keep an eye on this page for the latest information and resources.
