AUSTRALIA
Truth, Justice and Healing Council
The Truth, Justice and Healing Council has been established by the Catholic Church to help the Church fully embrace the Australian Government’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The Council will help the Church deal with the tragic legacy of child sexual abuse and help victims and survivors to be heard and supported.
The Royal Commission is an opportunity for the Church to explain the way it has treated victims and survivors, to acknowledge past wrongs and failings and to find ways in which to work towards justice and healing for all.
Importantly, it is an opportunity for victims and survivors of sexual abuse to come forward and be heard in an environment of support and safety.
