Representatives of Aboriginal community organisations met with the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Geraldton today.

Commissioner Helen Milroy and Commissioner Andrew Murray hosted a meeting to talk about ways to make it easier for Aboriginal people to engage with the Royal Commission.

The Royal Commission's Chief Executive Officer, Ms Janette Dines, said the Royal Commission encourages community-based organisations to make submissions to the Royal Commission, and to support their clients who may be wishing to come forward and tell their story.

"Organisations as well as individuals have the opportunity to talk to the Commissioners and share their experiences, expertise and knowledge," said Ms Dines. "We will return to West Australia as many times as it takes to hear peoples' stories."
