Fr. Kevin Dillon from Geelong's St. Mary Basilica, and Dr Wayne Chamley from Broken Rites: an organisation I have given support to for over six years as the preferred organisation to report clergy sexual abuse, chat about seeking help, and what the Royal Commission might mean to us all.*

We’ve always advocated that if you have been abused in any way, you should contact someone - the police, any of our many wonderful services such as Barwon CASA and Zena - and numbers are below.*

We talk about how the survivors, their families and friends, and the community as a whole should find their road to recovery.*

Survivors are coming forward: many are still reluctant to do so.* Please seek help.*

*

How can we heal the wounds?

How do we reach out to the survivors to seek help?*
