Abuse survivors say financial compensation is more important than apology

UNICEF (yoo-nee-seff) Australia has welcomed Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's announcement that he will deliver a formal apology to the survivors of institutional child sexual abuse. It comes as part of one of the 400 recommendations from the royal commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Mr Turnbull has said a survivor-focused reference group would be appointed to advise on the form and content of the apology.

The royal commission has recommended a national redress scheme to bring justice to abuse survivors. Source: AAP
