Australian historical sexual abuse juvenile detention claims

Australian survivors of historical sexual abuse in juvenile detention often live with the devastating life-long impacts of failure to protect them from abuse. When operating a juvenile detention centre, the state acts in a parent or guardian role and has a duty of care to protect children and teens (who have often already experienced trauma).  

Shine’s expert, trauma-informed Abuse Law team have deep expertise in building and resolving juvenile detention historical abuse claims. Making a historical abuse claim won’t erase what happened to you, but it may be an opportunity to:  

  • To hold someone (or an institution) to account 

  • For acknowledgement of what happened to you 

  • For an apology 

Historical abuse compensation may help with the impact that abuse has had on your life.
