VICTIMS of sexual abuse will have to wait for some time yet to learn if they will be able to give evidence in Bathurst as part of the new royal commission which started this week.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse began hearings in Melbourne on Wednesday.
It will examine all institutions in a far-ranging inquiry that will last at least three years.
A spokesman for the Royal Commission said yesterday dates and venues for hearings had yet to be determined.
“Following its opening yesterday, the Royal Commission has now gone into a series of private sessions, which will help determine where and when hearings will be held,” he said.
