Abstract
On 11 January 2013, the Governor-General of Australia appointed a six-member Royal Commission to investigate Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse ('the Commission'). The Commission has been tasked under the Royal Commissions Act 1902 (Cth) with inquiring into how institutions with a responsibility for children have managed and responded to allegations and instances of child sexual abuse. It will 'investigate where systems have failed to protect children, and make recommendations on how to improve laws, policies and practices to prevent and better respond to child sexual abuse in institutions'.
