AUSTRALIA
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

What matters most are not the professional backgrounds of the individuals chosen for this role. What matters most is their courage. Time and time again, we’ve seen people with impressive credentials “tread lightly” when investigating powerful institutions and their officials.

Regardless of this commission’s role and members, we urge anyone who has seen, suspected or suffered child sex crimes and cover ups in institutions to report first to local law enforcement. That’s the best and quickest way to safeguard kids. These are crimes and should be treated as crimes.
