We recognise the enduring strength of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and all that has been done to heal.

Next week, we hope to see more investment from the Victorian Government into responses to child sexual abuse in schools. This would be an important step toward building communities that refuse to let any child slip through the cracks: t.co/mrIji8JK6A
