THE Royal Commission investigating child sex abuse in institutions will hold private sessions in the Kimberley region of Western Australia on Monday.
Officers from the commission will be in Broome and Kununurra to meet with people interested in sharing their story.
Royal Commission CEO Janette Dines says the visit will provide an important opportunity for people who were sexually abused as children in institutions to disclose their mistreatment.
“We strongly encourage all survivors who wish to share their story in private with a commissioner to make contact with the Royal Commission or a local support service,” Ms Dines said.
She said more than 1500 private sessions have been held across Australia to date, including more than 160 in Western Australia.
