A child abuse campaigner has urged Australian governments to follow
the ACT's proposed mandatory disclosure scheme, saying it would have
saved children like him from being molested at the hands of a Marist
brother decades ago.
Damian De Marco, named ACT Local Hero of the Year for his campaigning, is set to speak at a NSW Ombudsman's conference in Sydney on Friday, where he will praise the ACT's "courageous" plans to prevent institutional child sexual abuse and urge other states and territories to follow suit.
