Tas Anglican Church to join redress scheme

The Anglican Church of Tasmania will join the national redress scheme for people who were sexually abused as children in institutions.

Tasmania's Anglican Diocese will join the national redress scheme set up after the royal commission into institutional responses to child sex abuse.

Bishop Richard Condie confirmed on Friday that his diocese would join the Anglican group participating in the scheme to compensate people who were sexually abused as children in institutions.

"The Department of Social Services will receive the documentation in early March and we fully expect to be part of the National Redress Scheme by the end of the month," Bishop Condie said.
