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 30th September 2018 is 6,526. Of these 5,933 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 30th September 2018, there were 257 survivors who have yet to receive services, who are waiting to be assigned an Advisor. There are currently over 2,414 survivors working with an Advisor, almost 2,100 are first time applicants. There are 146 people, who have already received services and who have submitted a reapplication, who are waiting to be assigned an Application Advisor.
