The royal commission into child sexual abuse is receiving about 40 requests by abuse survivors for private sessions each week.
After about 12 months of private and public hearings, the royal commission chairman Peter McClellan says the demand for private hearings with a commissioner is not abating.
Almost 1500 private sessions with sex abuse survivors have been held since the commission started and more than 1000 people are waiting to be heard.
‘I still cannot identify how many people will ultimately want to come and talk,” Justice McClellan said in Melbourne at a conference on Monday.
