Victims of child sex abuse may no longer be able to claim compensation under changes to NSW laws that will also slash maximum payouts to victims of crime from $50,000 to $15,000.

The Victims Rights and Support Bill, introduced to Parliament by NSW Attorney-General Greg Smith, proposes a statute of limitations for people claiming compensation for violence including child abuse or sexual assault. An application must be made within 10 years of the act or, if the victim was a child when it occurred, within 10 years after they turn 18.

Hetty Johnston, executive director of Bravehearts, said it was not in the best interests of victims of child sex abuse to limit their opportunity to claim compensation. ''There are really strong and powerful reasons why people won't disclose within that 10-year period,'' she said. ''Disclosing is a traumatic event in itself.

''There should be no statute of limitations at all on victims of crime. It is immoral and all that does is benefit the institutions who sat by and did nothing.''
