The Gillard government has pledged more than $400 million for the royal commission into child sexual abuse.
Tuesday’s federal budget sets aside $434.1 million over four years for the inquiry announced by Prime Minister Julia Gillard in December.
Ms Gillard says that figure will provide the commission with the necessary resources to fully investigate where institutions have gone wrong.
“This funding recognises the importance the government places on addressing injustices that have occurred in institutions against the most vulnerable in our society,” the prime minister said in a statement.
