NATIONAL STRATEGY TO PREVENT AND RESPOND TO CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE 2021-2030

The National Strategy provides a nationally coordinated, strategic framework for
preventing and responding to child sexual abuse. It seeks to reduce the risk,
extent and impact of child sexual abuse and related harms in Australia and
considers child sexual abuse in all settings, including within families, online
and within organisations.







ROYAL COMMISSION


ROYAL COMMISSION

For 5 years, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual

Commission’s 2017 final report made 409 recommendations to improve laws,
policies and practices to prevent and better respond to child sexual abuse.
