The Truth, Justice and Healing Council has been established to oversee the Church's engagement with the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual

Abuse by:

• Speaking for the Church in matters related to the Commission and child sexual abuse;
• Coordinating the Church's legal representation at the Commission;
• Identifying systematic institutional failures that have impeded the protection of children; and
• Indicating to the Commission the procedures that have been put in place over the past 20 years.

The Council will also:

• Initiate research into best practice procedures, policies and structures to protect children in the future;
• Make submissions to the Commission about the procedures, policies and structures in place today and the improvements intended to be made; and
• Promote lasting healing for the victims and survivors of previous abuse.
