National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse Act 2018

Certain amounts paid under the scheme may become a debt due to the Commonwealth. For example, if a redress payment is paid to the wrong person, that payment is a debt due to the Commonwealth and may be recovered under this Part.

This Part also allows for funding contribution or late payment penalty that is payable by an institution, a State, a Territory or a person to be recoverable as a debt due to the Commonwealth.
