An Aboriginal legal service is encouraging Indigenous people in north-west Victoria to consider sharing their stories at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
There has been an overwhelming response from survivors of sexual abuse wanting to talk to the commissioners during private sessions.
This week, legal forums in Mildura for Indigenous people will outline how to give evidence or make a written statement to the commission, as well as the counselling and support service available.
The legal office, Know More, was set up to serve people wanting to contribute to the royal commission.
