Elderly and terminally ill survivors of child sexual abuse will be able to access advance compensation payments of up to $10,000, after an inquiry found the scheme designed to support victims is a bureaucratic nightmare.

"We're obviously increasing the rate and the speed with which applications are being processed, and also we're seeing an increase in the number of people that are coming forward now, as they see the scheme maturing.""The window for making meaningful changes to the scheme is now extremely limited," Ms Kruk wrote.

Leonie Sheedy said the process was far too difficult to navigate for "people who have lost everything".
