An inquiry into child sexual abuse in Tasmanian government institutions is set to release a special research report canvassing the experiences of young people.
The commission of inquiry, which finished public hearings in September, has heard stories of abuse and neglect in the state's justice, education, health and out-of-home care systems.
Researchers engaged by the commission will on Friday release a report after speaking to children about their experiences in state institutions.
The commission was called by the state government in late 2020 after allegations of abuse by Ashley Youth Detention Centre staff and nurse James Geoffrey Griffin were aired.
Griffin, who worked on the children's ward of the Launceston General Hospital for some two decades, took his own life in 2019 after being charged with multiple child sexual abuse offences.
The inquiry was told of abuse by Griffin and multiple missed red flags about his conduct.
An independent review, of which the state government adopted all 92 recommendations, found senior management at the hospital showed "inertia" to implementing child safety reforms after Griffin's death.
The state government has remained steadfast with a pledge to shut Ashley by the end of 2024, despite calls from human rights organisations and political opposition for it to close immediately.
The state government is progressing a swathe of child safety reforms. The commission is expected to deliver a final report in May.
The state government has already pledged to adopt all recommendations.
"There is nothing more important than safeguarding children and young people," Premier Jeremy Rockliff said earlier this week.
"We are committed to progressing critical changes to improve child safety in our health service, including reforms to governance structures and culture to support it."
