It has been praised for finally implementing recommendations from the Royal Commission (although only to an extent). However, for many, the Redress Scheme falls far short of what is required to help survivors.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major controversies has been the use of the Scheme\u2019s \u201cmatrix\u201d, a mathematical approach to working out what payment a victim will be offered. It looks simple, but in practice, it is complex and <strong>completely divorced from reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Frankly, the matrix has to be seen to be believed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/news-item\/national-redress-gravy-train\/&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1537938038638000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH1Y2gZp4zvZq_zAIjMVgqi_6v9YA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It bears no resemblance to what the Royal Commission proposed and none of the politicians saw the matrix before they voted the Scheme into law.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The matrix is essentially a formula. It assesses how much \u2018redress\u2019 (money) a survivor is entitled to by using a simple-looking checklist. It awards redress based on <em>what happened to the survivor<\/em>, not <em>how they have been affected<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In other words, the scheme focuses on sexual acts rather than the negative impact on someone\u2019s life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2746\" src=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Redress-Payment-Scheme-Matrix-1.png\" alt=\"Redress Payment Scheme Matrix\" width=\"854\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Redress-Payment-Scheme-Matrix-1.png 854w, https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Redress-Payment-Scheme-Matrix-1-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/kelsolawyers.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Redress-Payment-Scheme-Matrix-1-768x504.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>As you can see above, this barbaric table is what\u2019s used to determine how much an abuse survivor deserves<\/h2>\n<p>This primitive table completely degrades the survivor, as though they haven\u2019t suffered enough.<\/p>\n<p>A person can only receive the full $150,000 if they were sexually penetrated <em><strong>and<\/strong><\/em> meet four further criteria in the matrix. If a person suffered non-penetrative abuse (for example, they may have been repeatedly fondled, touched, groomed and forced to engage in all sorts of depraved acts over a period of years), they cannot be awarded any more than $50,000.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t even bother with people who were physically abused, no matter how horrifically. The Scheme is only there for people that suffered sexual abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Think about the children that were beaten every single day until they were black and blue by a foster parent, or a supervisor in a children\u2019s home, because the National Redress Scheme sure doesn\u2019t. The Scheme doesn\u2019t care if you were even hospitalised \u2013 <strong>if there was no sexual abuse, there\u2019s no redress for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And think about the child that was fondled and humiliated by a priest every week for years &#8211; the most they can get is $50,000 and they\u2019ll have to release the church from all legal liability to get that money!<\/p>\n<h2>This framework is completely removed from reality<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The whole framework is designed to minimise the responsibility of the institution.<\/strong> An individual can only claim either penetrative abuse, contact abuse, or exposure abuse for their payment. Never mind if they were a victim of repeated sexual violence and forced to witness regular indecent exposure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It doesn\u2019t matter if an individual ticks every single box in the matrix. The maximum they will get is only $150,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The matrix\u2019s attempt at mathematically assessing survivors is quite literally a work of fiction.
