A Victorian parliamentary inquiry into child sexual abuse has been granted an extension due to the number of victims who have come forward.
The inquiry into child sexual abuse within religious organisations began early last year and was due to finish in April.
But the committee has received close to 400 submissions, many from victims who want to share their stories at public hearings.
The committee requested a time extension and will now hand in its report at the end of September.
