Acknowledgement of country

We, the Victorian Government, acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples and Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and waterways upon which our lives depend.

We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Acknowledgement to victim survivors

Institutional child sexual abuse has caused enormous harm to many Victorians – to the victim survivors of child abuse, and to their families and friends. The Victorian Government thanks them for their strength and courage in telling their stories so past abuse and harm are not repeated.

The Victorian Government has committed to deliver a formal apology to Victorians who experienced child sexual abuse while in institutional settings. The Victorian Government acknowledges the trauma of abuse and neglect suffered by victim survivors of child sexual abuse.
