This newsletter from Redress WA outlines the difference between 'compensation' and 'ex-gratia payments'. It confirms advice from the Australian Taxation Office that ex-gratia payments will not be taxable income and will not affect Centrelink payments. Individual counseling support providers are listed, with a statement that: 'Redress WA applicants have access to up to three hours of individual counselling, free of charge and more can be arranged on request.'
