The government remains absolutely committed to ensuring that each and every survivor has access to redress, and that's why this week I named another three institutions that have failed to join the Redress Scheme, despite having applications lodged against them. These institutions are the Forrest Tennis Club here in the ACT, the CYMS Basketball Association in Victoria and the Devonport Community Church in Tasmania. In addition, I had already named Kenja Communication, who continues to remain recalcitrant about joining the scheme. It is totally and utterly unacceptable that any institution fails to meet its moral obligations and sign up to the scheme so that survivors of institutional child sex abuse have access to redress. We will continue to take action wherever we possibly can to try and encourage organisations to take responsibility if they have any experience or any history of working with children.
