This first newsletter from Redress WA gives some information about the reduction in the maximum payment and 'acknowledges the decision to lower the maximum amount payable will disappoint many' people who had 'applied to the scheme.' It also publishes some helpful comments from current applicants, such as: 'I realise I am not alone and I am looking forward to meeting people in the Redress support groups who have had similar experiences when they were kids.' And 'I was afraid that no one would believe me but having my experience recognised has been really important.'
