Across Tasmania, many people have experienced serious trauma and harm while in the care of institutions like schools, hospitals, churches, and care homes. We understand that coming forward about these deeply painful experiences takes immense courage, and that many survivors have felt dismissed or silenced when attempting to share their story. At MEJ, we’re here to listen and support you in pursuing your rights and obtaining the compensation you are entitled to, so get in touch today.
Since 1985, we’ve helped people pursue fair compensation for institutional abuse. While our primary focus is securing the financial compensation you deserve, we may also be able to help obtain formal apologies and acknowledgment of your experiences. We’ll be by your side throughout the process, treating your story with the care and respect it deserves.
We have helped many survivors obtain compensation from different places across Tasmania, including the Bimbadeen Family Group Home, Ashley Home for Boys, Kennerley Childrens’ Home and various churches and schools. While we know that money can’t undo the harm you’ve experienced, it can help provide recognition of your suffering and support for your future.
You’re not alone. We’re here to help. Start your free claim check.
OUR APPROACH:
Personal, compassionate, and committed
