The Salvation Army has removed the names of eight retired officers from their roll and taken action against a further three who were subject to allegations at the child sex abuse royal commission in 2014.
The dismissals came to light the same day a royal commission heard the organisation had underpaid some survivors of child sexual abuse.
The eight dismissed officers from the organisation’s eastern territory are not allowed to wear the uniform and can only attend The Salvation Army Corps or premises under supervision, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse heard on Wednesday.
Another officer resigned before he could be dismissed, one died during investigation and a third is being investigated by police, counsel assisting Gail Furness SC said.
