53313 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Lead Coordination Minister for the Government's Response to the Royal Commission’s Report into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions: Does she stand by her statement that "The exact same step that you have to follow when you are terminally ill as a survivor to get your claim expedited is exactly the same as to get through this other process"; if so, why?

Hon Erica Stanford: Yes, a survivor who is terminally ill or their representative can request prioritisation of their claim by providing medical evidence as to their terminal illness. That same evidence can then be used by the redress agency to request an exemption for the survivor from the criminal check process.
