The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was a royal commission announced in November 2012[1] and established in 2013 by the Australian government pursuant to the Royal Commissions Act 1902 to inquire into and report upon responses by institutions to instances and allegations of child sexual abuse in Australia. The establishment of the commission followed revelations of child abusers being moved from place to place instead of their abuse and crimes being reported. There were also revelations that adults failed to try to stop further acts of child abuse.[2] The commission examined the history of abuse in educational institutions, religious groups, sporting organisations, state institutions and youth organisations.[3] The final report of the commission was made public on 15 December 2017.[4]
