1.1.C.20 Counselling & psychological component
Definition
For the purposes of the National Redress Scheme, the counselling and psychological component is one of three components that a person can choose to accept if they are offered redress. This component is either:
- access to counselling and psychological care services by a declared provider of these services under the Scheme, or
- a counselling and psychological care payment under the Scheme.
The offer of access to a counselling and psychological care service, or a payment is based on where a person lives when they apply to the Scheme.
