Hundreds of people have joined a register set up by a Warrnambool-based law firm in response to the royal commission into child sex abuse.
The Federal Government announced the royal commission last month to investigate how institutions have handled cases of child abuse.
Gary Foster from Maddens Lawyers says the register will provide information to victims and allow people to indicate their interest in any compensation scheme.
He says people from all over Australia have contacted him to add their names to the register.
