A ROYAL commission wants major changes to how the Australian legal system handles child sex abuse cases.
THE final recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse on redress and civil litigation went to the federal government at the beginning of last week.
Abuse survivors and institutions await the publication of the commission’s proposals, which are due to be tabled in the federal parliament and made public before the end of this week or early next week.
The commission has already signalled the need for changes to limitation periods in child sex abuse cases.
