Compensation for Detriment caused by Defective Administration (CDDA)
What is the CDDA Scheme?
If you believe you have experienced detriment as a result of a defective action or inaction from our department, 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.
