A Senate Inquiry is calling for all children to be removed from Nauru's immigration detention centre.
It comes after a lengthy investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and inhumane living conditions on the island.
A Senate committee was established in March, after the Moss Review alleged the sexual exploitation of detainees was happening at the hands of staff.
The findings of the Senate committee report are damning.
The Inquiry handed them down on Monday, August 31, listing 15 recommendations.
Among its recommendations is a call for the detention centre on Nauru to be downsized to what it calls a "lower-security living arrangement for all asylum seekers."
But the Committee's most pressing proposal is its call for all children and their families to be removed as soon as possible.
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, deputy chair of the report's committee, pointed to what she called "mountains of evidence," that abuse is widespread in the centre.
