(b) No, that's wrong. Since 2018 several states and territories have introduced new provisions in their civil liability legislation to make it easier for victims of institutional child abuse to hold organisations liable and obtain compensation for the harm they have suffered. The provisions vary in their detail, but the general effect is to overcome obstacles that, in the past, have prevented courts from imposing liability for child abuse on institutions  

For example, in cases involving unincorporated institutions (for example religious institutions), it can be difficult to identify a particular defendant to sue.  The legislation helps to do this and, if liability is established, the assets of the institution are made available to provide compensation. 

Further, in some jurisdictions, if a child is abused in an institutional context, the organisation is presumed to be liable in Negligence for not preventing the harmful conduct. This puts the burden of disproving liability on the institution. And, even where an organisation can show that it took reasonable steps to prevent abuse, in some jurisdictions the organisation can still be liable as long as it created the occasion for the abuse by putting the abuser in a position of authority and control over the child, and where the abuser could achieve intimacy with the child.
