Commission of Inquiry into the Tasmanian Government s Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Institution
MEDIA RELEASE: Tasmanian Commission of Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse Launched
Thursday 13 May 2021
With wide-ranging powers equal to that of a Royal Commission, the Commission of Inquiry into the Tasmanian Government’s Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Institutional Settings was launched today.
The last Tasmanian Royal Commission was held in 1992.
The Commission of Inquiry will investigate child sexual abuse within the State Service and explore ways the Government can better protect Tasmanian children.
Three eminent Commissioners have been appointed to the role:
The Honourable Marcia Neave AO, Commission President and former Supreme Court Judge

Keelie McMahon was 14 when she alleges she was sexually abused by family friend and nurse, James Geoffrey Griffin.
The now-24-year-old has been telling her story to encourage other survivors of child sexual abuse to speak out. I’m doing it to help other people that have gone through it, so they can get the courage to come forward and talk about what’s happened to them as well, she told SBS News.
In 2019 five woman came forward and made historic complaints of sexual abuse against James Griffin, ranging from the late 1980s through to 2012. He started getting charged for all these different things, more people came forward, and then all of a sudden it just stopped, because he committed suicide, and that was the end of it, Ms McMahon said.
