Nauru aid workers seek compensation

Save the Children workers will seek over a million dollars in compensation from the federal government, following their removal from Nauru.

Aid workers booted off Nauru after the federal government wrongly claimed they were coaching asylum seekers to self harm will seek a million dollars in compensation.

Nine Save the Children staff who were cleared of misconduct by two independent investigations will lodge a compensation claim that the allegations caused loss of income, suffering and damage to reputation, ABC TV reports.
