The national inquiry into child sexual abuse in institutions plans to make final recommendations on compensation for victims by June of next year.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in its interim report published two months ago said it would need another $104 million and a two-year extension on its December 2015 deadline to produce its final report.
It promised, however, to make earlier recommendations on redress and civil litigation for thousands of victims of abuse, many of whom are elderly.
On Friday, the royal commission’s chief executive, Philip Reed, said June 30, 2015 was the target date for those recommendations.
“In order to achieve this shortened time frame, we are adopting an intensive consultation process involving both broad public consultation and targeted private consultation,” he said.
