How many people can apply?

To be eligible to apply to Caranua, a person must have spent time in an institution as a child, and received an award through settlement, Court or the Residential Institutions Redress Board. Our Application Form Part 1 allows us to check whether someone can apply. Once we receive the form, we usually do this in ten working days. The number of Part 1 applications received up to the 18th May 2018 is 6,221. Of these 5,648 survivors have been deemed eligible to apply.

Current Status of Applications

After an applicant is deemed eligible to apply, we ask them for identification documents. Once their identification documents are verified, the next step is that they are allocated an Application Advisor, who will work with them on their application for services.

As at the 18th May 2018, there were 83 people who have yet to receive services, who are waiting to be assigned an Advisor. There are currently over 2,385 survivors working with an Advisor, over 2,200 are first time applicants. There are 211 people, who have already received services and who have submitted a reapplication, who are waiting to be assigned an Application Advisor.
