Information sessions are being held across Western Australia for people interested in testifying at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse.
The royal commission is due to hold its first Western Australian public hearings in April.
Hearings may then be scheduled for regional centres later in the year.
Relationships Australia, which has been funded by the Federal Government to provide support and counselling to people who give evidence, is visiting Broome, Northam and Hedland in coming weeks.
Geraldton, Albany and Kalgoorlie are scheduled for later in the year.
Royal commission support service manager Charmaine Kennedy says it is an open invitation and attending does not mean people will then have to testify.
