The Anglican Diocese of Grafton is apologising to victims who suffered abuse at the North Coast Children’s Home in Lismore.
The Diocese received a number of claims in 2006 about abuse at the Lismore facility between the 1940s and 1980s.
Thirty-nine were settled, but two people did not accept the conditions, and seven others later came forward with similar claims.
In May this year the Right Reverend Keith Slater resigned as bishop.
He admitted to not passing on all complaints to the church’s professional standards director, saying legal liability questions clouded the issue.
