Redress scheme plan for Fiskville victims

Victoria is looking at a redress scheme for firefighters who were sent to train at the contaminated Fiskville training centre.

A damning report found evidence CFA management knew Fiskville was contaminated in 2010, despite saying they knew nothing about it until a series of newspaper stories in December 2011.

A parliamentary inquiry recommended a redress scheme be established to look after victims.

Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett said the government had put money aside for the scheme.

"When we establish one, there will be money there, absolutely," she told reporters on Tuesday.

"Providing justice to victims was one of the key reasons we set up this inquiry in the first place."

Fiskville was shut in 2015 after a cancer cluster was discovered among those who lived and worked there since the 1970s.

New chief executive Lucinda Nolan apologised to victims and promised Fiskville would not reopen.

"It is clear this was a failure of our systems and process," Ms Nolan said.
