We have represented victims of abuse in the Catholic & Anglican Churches, Uniting Church, Christian Brothers, Marist Brothers and many other religious groups across Australia.

This has included abuse within churches, religious schools, church societies and other religious community organisations.

Many survivors stay silent for years, even decades. They feel a sense of shame, guilt and embarrassment that was never theirs to bear. What happened is not your fault. You were taken advantage of by predators and let down by a system that should have known better. You deserved better and are entitled to justice.

It is never too late to come forward. It doesn’t matter where and it doesn’t matter when.

Our lawyers have won compensation for survivors of church abuse across Australia. We have pursued cases as far back as the 1960s and as recent as the 2020s.

This includes cases involving notorious offenders such as:

• Father Vincent Ryan
• Father Peter Rushton
• Brother Bernard McGrath
• Brother Edward Dowlan
• Father Gerald Ridsdale

These are just some of many. To find out more about the churches, religious institutions and perpetrators we have come across in our work, click here.
