The federal government won't be supporting a commonwealth-funded national redress scheme for abuse victims, but rather work with the states on a unified approach.
Labor leader Bill Shorten asked Malcolm Turnbull in parliament on Thursday whether he would back a single national scheme as proposed by the opposition.
"Survivors want redress, they deserve redress to assist with the healing process. We've commenced discussions with the states and Territories to carefully work through these many complex issues," Mr Turnbull said.
