Sexual Abuse Compensation Lawyers — confidential, free, and at your pace
If you survived sexual, physical or emotional abuse — in an institution, in out-of-home care, at a school or club, or as a child — you may be entitled to compensation. In Victoria there is no time limit on child-abuse claims, no matter how long ago it happened. ORLA Connect confidentially matches you with specialist survivor lawyers. You stay in control, it costs nothing to start, and many act on a no-win-no-fee basis.
Survivor claims we match
Whatever your situation, ORLA Connect matches you with Victorian firms that handle exactly this type of matter.
Handled with care, by lawyers who do this work
These are among the most sensitive claims in law, and they deserve lawyers who are trauma-informed and experienced. In Victoria the limitation period for child sexual abuse has been removed, so a claim can proceed regardless of how long ago the abuse occurred — and courts can set aside unfair past settlements. You may be able to pursue the National Redress Scheme or a civil claim against the responsible institution, which is often worth substantially more. ORLA Connect matches you privately with firms that focus on survivor claims, at whatever pace feels right for you.
