The Catholic Church has joined up to the compensation scheme for victims of institutional child sexual abuse.
In a major step forward, the Church has announced it will enter the National Redress Scheme, becoming the first non-government institution to do so.
All states and territories, except Western Australia, have opted into the scheme, which would offer victims up to $150,000 in compensation.
The scheme is due to come into effect from July 1.
More to come.
