AS THE Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse continues to hear heart breaking testimony from victims, the first ever Australian exhibition of art by survivors has been launched on the Central Coast.

The collection of works was created by men and women who have already given evidence to the commission about their experiences of institutional abuse.

It is being staged by counselling organisation Interrelate which has been funded by the commission to provide support for victims and their families.

Interrelate chief executive officer Patricia Occelli said the artworks were from people across NSW.
