  • The 667-page report sets out 136 recommendations and is paired with a 111-page Voices supplement of survivor accounts.
  • Seven recommendations were adopted immediately, including a dedicated ministerial portfolio, a five-year statewide strategy, and chief-executive implementation plans.
  • The response includes plans for a 24/7 crisis phone line as a central point of engagement for victims and services.
