With the Commission of Inquiry hearings once again underway in Tasmania, the Government is listening so our most vulnerable are protected and to ensure past wrongs can never be repeated in Tasmania.
The evidence given to date in the Commission of Inquiry is confronting, and while this week’s hearings will no doubt be difficult for many, it will shine a light on these matters, once and for all.
I would like to sincerely acknowledge, and thank, victim-survivors, their families and loved ones, for their bravery and courage in coming forward.
It is so important your voices are heard, and lessons learned so we can make the future a safer place for children and young people in Tasmania.
And for anyone who is affected, remember that support is available. If you do need to talk to someone, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the following organisations:
