A sexual abuse claim is not like other cases in Sydney. The effects of sexual abuse can be long-standing and affect your mental wellbeing, interpersonal relationships, and even employment. So, you need a lawyer who understands your position and is willing to go the extra mile to help you. At MTM Legal, we are willing to handle everything and help you claim compensation.
You can claim for sexual abuse under the National Redress Scheme or Common Law, depending on the circumstance surrounding your abuse. You could claim under the National Redress Scheme if you were sexually abused while under 18 years and the abuse occurred while you were in the care of an institution that participates in the Redress Scheme. You will be entitled to a redress payment of up to $150,000, psychological counselling, and a direct response from the institution responsible for the abuse.
You can claim under Common Law if you do not meet the criteria for the National Redress Scheme or in the event a Common Law claim would be the most appropriate course to take in your case.
