Victims of child abuse in Victoria will be able to seek civil damages
regardless of when the abuse occurred under new laws to remove complex
time limitations.
The new laws will mean victims who suffered child abuse decades ago will be able to seek civil damages from those responsible for the abuse, including an organisation. Attorney-General Martin Pakula will introduce the laws to the Victorian parliament this week, which will apply retrospectively.
