MORE victims are expected to come forward with allegations of abuse at children’s homes run by Victorian Jewish welfare organisations in the 1960s.

Jewish Care Victoria has set up an independent support scheme to investigate claims by three people that they were abused in residential care run by previous Jewish organisations.

Manny Waks, the founder of Jewish victims’ support group Tzedek, believes more victims are likely to come forward following the allegations.

“At this stage, it has come to my attention that there is at least one other alleged victim in this case,” he told AAP.
