A Victorian parliamentary inquiry has been told victims of child sexual abuse face a litany of difficulties reporting and settling their complaints.
The Care Leavers Australia Network told the child sexual inquiry that churches and institutions have confusing processes for dealing with complaints.
It says victims are deliberately isolated and that redress schemes are a “hopscotch” of secretive arrangements.
Spokesman Frank Golding told the inquiry it is also difficult for victims to access documentation.
