Survivors and community members can now communicate to the Royal Commission via a text messaging service to the number 8185

This is part of an ongoing effort to offer multiple ways for survivors to talk with the Royal Commission Contact Centre.

In particular, the Royal Commission has implemented a text messaging ability to support engagement from Deaf communities, who have told us this was something they needed. We look forward to strengthening engagement, with the introduction of this additional channel.

There will be no cost to text this number.
