The proposal would provide $35 million over 4 years to establish a National Aged Care Redress Scheme. The scheme would:

• provide justice by implementing monetary payments for survivors of aged care harm
• support recovery by offering psychosocial, social, and legal assistance to survivors and their families
• acknowledge harm by establishing truth-telling forums and issuing an official apology
• ensure safety by funding logistical support for survivors to transition to safer living spaces.

The proposal would be non-ongoing, distribute funding evenly over 4 years and include departmental funding from within the capped amount.

The proposal would start from 1 July 2026.
