Child sexual abuse survivor Geoff Meyers died before seeing a cent through the National Redress Scheme, as figures reveal only 1 per cent of people have received a payout so far.
Mr Meyers, who suffered as a ward of the state at Royleston Boys' Depot in Glebe, hoped redress would provide some recognition for those who suffered.
It took more than seven decades for him to tell his story to the royal commission and it was "very hard on him", his son Geoff Meyers told the ABC.
