Senior Australian rabbis are expected to testify before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

The inquiry is examining the response of Jewish colleges in Melbourne and Sydney to cases of sexual abuse of students, by men attached to the colleges, in the 1980s and ’90s.

Rabbi Abraham Glick, a former principal of Yeshivah College in Melbourne, and Rabbi Mordechai Gutnick, the president of the Rabbinical Council of Victoria, are due to give testimony on Thursday.
