The federal government has given institutions named and shamed in the royal commission into child sexual abuse an extra eight years to sign up to the national redress scheme. It is the second time the deadline has been extended, this time until 2028, a transcript of the parliamentary inquiry into the operation of the scheme shows. An independent review of the scheme is due to be finished by the end of February which should canvass issues that include further ways to ensure institutions join the scheme. Of the 158 institutions mentioned at the royal commission, three have not flagged their intention to join. A further 16 have said they are intending to join but have not yet signed up, and there are 11 institutions that have been assessed as “unable to meet the legislative requirements”. The Jehovah’s Witnesses is the only national organisation to declare they will not be joining. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has previously said he intends to strip organisations of their charitable status if they do not sign up. A survivor said waiting another eight years for that was not enough. Calling them reprehensible is not enough. Taking away their charity status is not enough,” the survivor said. “Stopping their access to government funding, which they do not receive, is not relevant.” The survivor said it looked like the government was “not prepared”. “We are really disappointed about the cut-off being delayed,” she said.
