TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains disturbing details of child sexual abuse.

Over the past few days we've been hearing horrific details of child sex abuse at St Joseph's Orphanage Neerkol near Rockhampton in the 1950s and 1960s.

The details have emerged in hearings held by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

The Truth, Justice and Healing Council, a Catholic organisation, has been calling on the Government to introduce a compensation scheme.

The head of the organisation is Francis Sullivan.
