Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has flagged he's happy to consider downgrading high level security at the Nauru immigration detention centre.
A Senate inquiry report into abuse and conditions at the camp, released on Monday, made 15 recommendations including moving to an open centre.
"We need to provide people with a dignified setting, we need to provide them with support and we don't tolerate any instances of sexual offences at all," Mr Dutton told ABC radio on Tuesday.
Opposition immigration spokesman Richard Marles said the Senate inquiry report was damning and he supported a recommendation to get women and children out of the facility.
"It is really important that children and families are removed from those tented facilities as soon as possible and put into the community at Nauru," he told reporters in Melbourne.
