There have been a number of Government inquiries throughout Australia in relation to the abuse of children in State care. These include:

Bringing them Home Report (1997)
Forgotten Australians (2004)
Lost Innocents (2001)

All inquiries have made specific recommendations regarding an apology, support/counselling services, and some form of monetary redress (ex gratia payment) for the survivors of abuse.

Redress WA joins Tasmania and Queensland as the only states to introduce a 'redress scheme'.
