Grace Tame has been excluded from the federal government's national strategy to prevent child sexual abuse, it has been revealed.
With this week marking Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Week, Ms Tame was interviewed on ABC News Channel about her advocacy in the space, where she found out the plan was set to be released without her involvement.
"The federal government is announcing details of a national strategy to prevent child sexual abuse awareness. I presume you have been involved in the drafting of that, what can we expect?" ABC News presenter Ros Childs asked.
A surprised Ms Tame shook her head, before saying "no, I have not been involved in the drafting of that."
After she was asked when she found out about the government's plan, she said "when you just told me, just now."
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Thursday $146 million will be allocated to fund the first four years of a 10-year national plan to prevent child sexual abuse.
More details on the plan are expected to be unveiled next week, which is National Children's Week.
Ms Tame has been long heralded as a champion in advocating for victims of sexual assault after her successful Let Her Speak campaign, and was named 2021 Australian of the Year for her efforts.
