The Anglican Church, Salvation Army, Scouts Australia and the YMCA have all announced they will join the national redress scheme for survivors of child sexual abuse.
The establishment of a national redress scheme was a key recommendation of the recent Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The moves, which were announced at a press conference held by Federal Social Services Minister Dan Tehan and representatives of the organisations on Thursday, comes after the Catholic Church on Wednesday announced it would join the scheme, becoming the first non-government institution to formally do so.
Mr Tehan said that the coverage of the national redress scheme was now at 80 per cent of all survivors.
The redress scheme, which is expected to be formally created after the passing of legislation through the Senate, provides survivors with up to $150,000 in compensation and counselling.
