Silvia talks about her work with Bravehearts during the Royal Commission and shares her thoughts about what the Royal Commission meant to those survivors who came forward.
5 years on from the end of the Royal Commission, Silvia reflects on the Royal Commission’s impact and shares her thoughts about the changes that have had the greatest impact for survivors seeking to access justice.
