Some children’s stories are never told.

For thousands of survivors of child abuse, free legal services are their only path to justice, safety, and healing. These services are often the only way survivors can access support and advice to navigate through complex systems like the National Redress Scheme — a scheme that provides monetary and other recognition to those who have experienced institutional child abuse.

But the Redress Scheme will end, and with it, funding for vital legal supports like Knowmore is under serious threat. Without urgent action, many survivors will be left without the legal help they need to navigate trauma, ensure safety, or seek redress.
