Advocacy group Doctors for Refugees backed the UN's call to immediately remove asylum seeker children, and their families, from Nauru's detention centre.
In its latest report, the UN's Committee on the Rights of the Child concerns with the living conditions of children who live on the island including a lack of clean drinking water, the absence of quality medical care and violence at the hands of local including sexual assault.
Convenor of Doctors for Refugees Dr Barri Phatarfod said the policy of offshore detention must end.
"If we bring them to Australia" Dr Barri Phatarfod said "They're going to have adequate healthcare. We're not going to see these adverse outcomes, like we see with the people that are there, which most seriously results in death"
