flag One year after New Zealand’s apology, most abuse survivor reform promises remain unfulfilled despite ongoing advocacy.

flag One year after New Zealand’s formal apology to survivors of abuse in state and faith-based care, advocates say the government has failed to implement most of the Royal Commission’s 138 recommendations. flag Despite public commitments, key reforms—like an independent redress scheme and a Care Safe Agency—remain unfulfilled. flag A proposed 50% redress top-up does not keep pace with inflation, and new legislation may deny support to survivors based on past offenses. flag Recent revelations of police cover-ups highlight ongoing systemic failures. flag While the government allocated $2.7 million for survivor support and memorialization, critics argue these efforts fall short without meaningful accountability and independent oversight. flag Survivors and advocates continue to demand urgent action to prevent future abuse and honor the nation’s promise to protect vulnerable people.
