The Federal Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is considering holding sessions in Canberra.

Commissioners are holding private sessions around Australia with people who experienced child sexual abuse while in institutional care.

Sessions will be set up in Canberra if there is demand.

Liberal Senator Gary Humphries says the abuse may not have happened in Canberra but people who experienced it now live here.

“Their stories are best heard where they are now, rather than where they originally were,” he said.
