Resources for claims made in response to a royal commission into child sexual abuse have been doubled by the New South Wales Government.
The move is part of a number of measures the Government has introduced to address some of the issues raised by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
Five initiatives have been unveiled to support survivors and help them seek assistance in response to matters raised by inquiry.
The Government said it would boost resources at the Department of Family and Community Services to ensure people could access their care records quicker and to clear the backlog of applications by mid 2015.
