Over the past 100 years churches have played a critical role in the care and welfare of children. Churches have run schools and priests and other church leaders have held positions of authority within our communities. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse found that many churches failed in their duties in protecting children from child sexual abuse.
At Moody Law we have assisted many survivors of church related child sexual abuse including the following:
Church run schools
Church run homes or orphanages
Sunday school
Priest in the community
Church run camps
Altar boy abuse
If you have been abused in any circumstances connected to a church, then we may be able to help you. Furthermore, if you have gone through the Catholic Church’s ‘Towards Healing’ or ‘Melbourne Response’ process and have received an unfair settlement, we may also be able to help you in furthering your matter.

Below are links to various churches and schools to gather with links to specific schools and institutions or archdiocese is with a history of abuse.
We understand sexual abuse claims and so we know how to get you justice. Justice looks difference to most people and we listen to what justice means to you.
We focus on your story and give you a voice on something that may have happened a long time ago. There is often power and healing in being heard and in getting justice for what happened to you as a child.
Its often not all about the money but we pride ourselves on getting the institution to pay for the harm they caused you.
We believe that survivors of child sexual abuse should not be denied access to justice because of their financial situation. That is why Moody Law offers a No-Win-No-Fee* service.
We get results for you. We have acted for many hundreds of survivors of sexual abuse since 2000 and many thousands of survivors of violence.
Sexual abuse claims are private and confidential unless you want publicity. Usually, there is no need to include your family members or others in your life.
Sadly, some particular churches or orders have a poor history of looking after children. Below are some of the main churches, dioceses, orders or institutions identified by the Royal Commission recently where sexual abuse of children was found.
Please click on the link below for a list of clergy members who have been accused, and in numerous cases, convicted of historical child sexual abuse offences.

“I would like to express my thanks to you and the rest of the Artemis team for not giving up on my case. No matter the outcome I cannot tell you how much it has meant to me for someone to not only believe me but to also fight for me. It has never occurred to me that my case was very important or significant. ”
“For me, I walk away from this experience with a genuine sense of optimism and resilience. I now have hope and a purpose that I have not ever felt before in my lifetime. Whilst therapy and professional assistance is assisting greatly, it is because of your determination to see justice for me and that fact that I felt that I had your support “in my corner”, enabled me to have the courage to pursue this case to its end. ”
