SYDNEY: The Catholic Church in Australia agreed Wednesday (May 30) to join a national redress scheme for victims of institutional child sex abuse, declaring that "survivors deserve justice".

 

It follows a five-year royal commission detailing thousands of harrowing abuse cases involving Australian churches, orphanages, sporting clubs, youth groups and schools over decades.

 

That inquiry heard from more than 2,500 survivors of abuse in facilities managed by the Catholic Church and recommended a scheme to support victims with counselling, psychological care and financial payments.
