The Royal Commission heard from thousands of people about abuse they experienced as children in orphanages, children’s homes, schools, churches and other religious organisations, sports clubs, hospitals, foster care and other institutions.

He encouraged eligible survivors to apply to the scheme as part of their healing process.
