The Federal Government is calling for public feedback on the terms of reference for its royal commission into child abuse.
The inquiry was announced last week after the latest in a series of paedophilia allegations, most of which were directed at the Catholic Church.
The Government today released a consultation paper that will be used to help frame the inquiry.
Stakeholders are being encouraged to give their views on how the commission should be conducted, who should be in charge and how long it should take.
“We want all stakeholders, especially survivors of child sexual abuse, their families and their advocates, to help shape the development of the royal commission,” Attorney-General Nicola Roxon said in a statement.
