AS a judge who has presided over some of the nation's most controversial cases and who was a barrister at the Maralinga inquiry, Peter McClellan brings a wealth of experience to head the federal royal commission into institutional child sexual abuse.

Justice McClellan, 65, will take a three-year break from his role as chief judge at common law in the NSW Supreme Court to take on the role.
