Victims, Catholic Church representatives and clergy convicted of child
sex abuse will appear before a royal commission hearing in Ballarat. Many victims who haven't come forward decades after being abused by
clergy and religious in Ballarat might be prompted to speak up when the
abuse royal commission sits in the Victorian town, a victims' advocate
hopes.
Ballarat Centre Against Sexual Assault manager Shireen Gunn says she has no doubt there are more victims who could be empowered by the commission hearings starting next week, as occurred after Victoria's child abuse inquiry.
