National Redress Scheme

KSGAC helps people with applications and counselling support

Territories Stolen Generations Redress Scheme provides redress for people who were removed from their families or communities, and whose removal took place in the Northern Territory or Australian Capital Territory before self-government or Jervis Bay Territory. The redress is made in recognition of the harm caused by removal from family or community.  The Scheme is managed by NIAA and KSGAC provides support to applicants or people considering applying  to the Scheme.

 

The Territories Stolen Generations Redress Scheme offers eligible applicants a financial component of up to $75,000, a healing payment of $7,000  and a Personal Acknowledgement from a senior government representative if you would like one.
