Submissions closed on Monday 2 September 2024.

The Joint Standing Committee on Implementation of the National Redress Scheme anticipates it will finish its inquiry into the operation of the National Redress Scheme in November 2024.

Over the course of the inquiry, the Committee has received over 50 submissions and held 11 public hearings. Some of this evidence was received later in the inquiry and the Committee is working hard to consider this evidence carefully and respectfully in the drafting of its report. This has resulted in the expected completion of the inquiry to be extended from October to November 2024.

The Committee appreciates the efforts taken by contributors of this inquiry and hopes to provide a report that reflects the evidence provided throughout the inquiry.
