The Harmony Campaign update

The Grace Tame Foundation has harmonised laws across the country, removing the word 'relationship' from the criminal offence heading of 'persistent sexual abuse of a child'.

Since launching its campaign in February 2022, The Grace Tame Foundation has made significant progress towards its goal of removing the word 'relationship' from the 'persistent sexual abuse of a child' criminal offence model nationwide, to accord with the Royal Commission's recommendations.

As of August 2023, no state or territory jurisdiction uses the word 'relationship' in the heading of this offence.

This historic harmonised improvement of the offence title brings us one step closer to our ultimate campaign goal of expunging the word 'relationship' from all parts of the offence, in every jurisdiction.

We will not stop until it is done.
