A royal commission set to expose how institutions have failed child sex abuse victims is receiving an average of 23 phone calls a day.
More than 4300 people have called since the inquiry began to report abuse perpetrated against children.
The response to the commission has been so overwhelming that commissioners say it will be impossible to make findings in relation to every institute where child sex abuse allegedly occurred.
Speaking at a Bravehearts White Balloon Day in Brisbane on Friday, Justice Peter McClellan AM said the commission would have to be selective when investigating and holding public hearings into allegations of abuse.
