Fairbridge Farm Class Action What is the Fairbridge Farm Class Action? Arnold Thomas & Becker is leading a landmark class action against the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of New South Wales, representing former residents of the Fairbridge Farm School in Molong, NSW. This new legal action seeks justice for survivors of abuse at the school, which was notorious for its harsh conditions, mistreatment and neglect of children. The previous class action resulted in a $24 million settlement, but many survivors felt the outcome was inadequate, with some receiving as little as $50,000. Arnold Thomas & Becker is now pursuing legal action to ensure these individuals receive the compensation they deserve. The Fairbridge Farm Experience The Fairbridge Farm School, operational from 1913 to 1982, was designed to offer children from impoverished backgrounds in the UK a chance at a better life in Australia. Promoted as an opportunity for education and farm work, the reality was far different. Children were separated from their families, forced to work long hours in brutal conditions, and subjected to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Many survivors have carried the scars of this treatment for decades. Join the Class Action The class action seeks to give voice to these survivors, validating their experiences and ensuring that the injustices they suffered are officially recognised. Arnold Thomas & Becker’s pursuit of justice goes beyond compensation; it aims to offer a sense of closure and help the survivors take steps toward healing. This new legal action is for survivors who were not adequately compensated in the original settlement and for those who feel they were not heard.
