Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said he will issue a formal apology to thousands of survivors of child sexual abuse that went on in schools, religious organisations, and other institutions.
The PM said the government has accepted most of the recommendations from the 2017 report by the Royal Commission, the country’s highest investigative body.
Some of the recommendations include compensating victims and establishing a national office for child safety.
The PM is expected to issue the formal apology in late October this year.
