Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

Description

Appointed as Commissioner.
"The Royal Commission investigated how institutions like schools, churches, sports clubs and government organisations have responded to allegations and instances of child sexual abuse. It was the largest inquiry held in Australia to date. The Final Report was released on 15 December 2017 with 17 volumes and 409 recommendations. The scale of information gathered and analysed by the Royal Commission is staggering and includes 8,013 private sessions, 1,344 personal written accounts, 57 public hearings or case studies, and 56 research papers. Over 4,000 organisations were identified during this process. The private sessions included 285 children and young people under 25 years of age, half of whom were younger than 18 years at time they spoke with the Royal Commission about their experiences of sexual abuse."
