Submissions

The ALRC is grateful for all those who have made a submission in response to the Issues Paper for the Justice Responses to Sexual Violence Inquiry. The ALRC will be publishing all submissions as soon as practicable. In recognition of the sensitivities of some submissions and the ALRC’s commitment to a trauma-informed Inquiry process, the ALRC is still processing some submissions for publication. Rather than delay the publication of all submissions, the ALRC will publish submissions in stages.

Please be aware that some of these submissions contain discussion of sexual violence. If you, or someone you know, need help, support services are available here.

More information on how the ALRC treats submission and inquiry material can be found here.
