The Royal Commission of Inquiry into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions was established by the New Zealand Government in 2018 to inquire into and report upon allegations of historical abuse to children, young people and adults in state care and in the care of faith-based institutions in New Zealand between 1950 and 1999.
The royal commission was established pursuant to the Inquiries Act 2013.[1][2] It heard the accounts of more than 3,000 survivors over more than five years. The royal commission's final report and recommendations were publicly released on 24 July 2024.[3] The 3,000-page report concluded that between 113,000 and 253,000 children, young people and adults had been abused and neglected at state and faith-based institutions in New Zealand between 1950 and 1999. The commission made 138 recommendations and called for political, religious, public service, professional and care provider leaders to issue public apologies as well as law changes to relevant legislation.[3][4]
