THE chief executive running the royal commission into child sexual abuse will quit her position at the end of next week.

Janette Dines was appointed to the role in late 2012 and has been a commonwealth public servant for 20 years.

Royal Commission chair Justice Peter McClellan said Ms Dines had been the driving force behind the establishment of the office of the Royal Commission since its announcement in late 2012.

“Ms Dines has successfully created the structure and facilities that have enabled the Royal Commission to achieve a large amount in a short time,” Justice McClellan said.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse will deliver its Interim Report on 30 June.
