Child Detention Centre Claims

Child Detention Centre Claims  

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has found that 41.6% of sexual abuse occurred in institutions dealing with out-of-home care such as homes and orphanages. This figure comes after five years of investigations, witness accounts and more than 8,000 private sessions with survivors. We have helped many of those survivors get justice 

Some of the common symptoms of abuse related conditions are:

• Anxiety and Depression

• Dissociation

• PTSD

• Drug or Alcohol Dependency

• Isolation and Pain

The Royal Commission and the Forde Commission Inquiry in Queensland in 1999 identified the following institutions as been some of the worst in this category:

• Wilson Youth Hospital

• Westbrook Training Centre

• St Vincent’s Orphanage, Nudgee

• Daruk Boys’ Home/Daruk Training Centre

• Bayswater Boys Home

• Turana

• Mt Penang Training School for Boys

• Tamworth Institution for Boys

• Reiby Training School/Reiby Juvenile Justice Centre

• Ashley Youth Detention Centre

• Dalmar (Wesley Dalmar)

• Cleveland Youth Detention Centre (Townsville)

If you were under the care of a youth detention or training centre as a child anywhere in Australia and someone there inappropriately touched you or sexually assaulted you may be entitled to a range of benefits and compensation.
