Compensation for defective administration

If you believe you have experienced detriment as a result of an agency’s defective actions or inaction, you may seek compensation under the Scheme for Compensation for Detriment caused by Defective Administration (the CDDA Scheme). The CDDA allows government agencies to compensate persons who have experienced detriment. Payments under the Scheme are discretionary. This means there is no automatic entitlement to a payment.

If you have and questions about the CDDA Scheme, please email us.
