Submission to the inquiry into the Crimes Amendment (Strengthening the Criminal Justice Response to Sexual Violence) Bill 2024

The Senate Standing Committees on Legal and Constitutional Affairs conducted an inquiry into the Crimes Amendment (Strengthening the Criminal Justice Response to Sexual Violence) Bill 2024.

The Crimes Amendment (Strengthening the Criminal Justice Response to Sexual Violence) Bill 2024 would amend the Crimes Act 1914 to strengthen the protections afforded to victims and survivors of child sexual abuse and vulnerable persons in Commonwealth criminal proceedings.

The bill would implement several recommendations of the 2017 Final Report of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

ACYP made a written submission in April 2024.
