A free legal advisory service has been launched to give advice and support for people seeking to engage with the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
Details of the independent legal service, called Knowmore, were announced by the Federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus.
The Government funded service will provide expert, free legal advice over the phone and in face-to-face meetings in key locations for members of the public considering speaking with the Royal Commission.
The Federal Government has provided $18 million in funding for the service over four years from 2012-2013.
