THE landmark royal commission into child sex abuse will meet Tasmanian victims this month.
It will first hold private hearings with victims.
Royal commission chief executive Janette Dines said there had been a strong response from people wanting to tell their story in a private session.
“More than 326 people have already told their story in private sessions across the country, and we expect to speak to at least 850 more before the end of the year,” she said.
The royal commission will examine how institutions with a responsibility for children managed and responded to allegations and instances of child sexual abuse.
