About the workshops
Hearings in the form of workshops will be used to gather evidence from witnesses in a less formal setting than the public hearings held in 2019. Workshops will not be held in a hearing room or court-like setting. Workshops may involve multiple sessions over several days.
Counsel Assisting will facilitate discussion between workshop participants. The Commissioners will moderate the proceedings.
Participants will be selected on the basis of their experience or expertise, their submissions to the Royal Commission, or past engagement with the Royal Commission. Participation in workshops is by invitation only. A list of participants will be published on the website before each workshop.
Workshops are designed to help test propositions in the lead up to the development and finalisation of the recommendations that the Commissioners will make in their final report in November 2020.
Content Warning: Please be aware that images and descriptions contained within exhibits tendered at hearings of the Royal Commission and public submissions published on this website could be confronting to some.
