Asylum seeker advocates have called on the federal government to move to an open processing centre, following an independent review into allegations of sexual abuse of asylum seekers on Nauru.
The long-awaited Moss review into allegations of abuse against asylum seekers in Australian detention on Nauru is damning about conditions on the island and the treatment of asylum seekers housed there.
The review has found a pressing need to improve the way sexual abuse claims are handled, better training for staff, and better protection for asylum seekers.
It has acknowledged the environment in which officers of the Australian Immigration Department, service provider staff and Nauruan authorities are working is difficult but says urgent changes need to made.
