7  Simplified outline of this Part

      This Part prescribes circumstances in which:
             (a) government institutions are equally responsible (for the purposes of the scheme only) with other institutions for abuse; or
             (b) institutions are not responsible for abuse.
      Under the Act, institutions that are equally responsible for abuse will not necessarily have equal shares of the costs of any redress payment for the abuse (or related costs). The Act lets the rules affect each institution's share of those costs. Division 2 of Part 6 of this instrument ensures Commonwealth institutions equally responsible under this Part with State or Territory institutions (and possibly non‑government institutions) for abuse of certain child migrants are not liable for more than half of the governmental part of the maximum amount of a redress payment for the abuse.
