THE second public hearing by a royal commission into how the Salvation Army handled allegations of child sexual abuse opens in Sydney on Thursday.
The inquiry follows one in January, which revealed extensive abuse at four homes run by the Christian organisation in NSW and Queensland.
Thursday's public hearing will inquire into the policies, practices and procedures of the Salvos eastern territory division between 1993 and 2014, for responding to claims of child sexual abuse at children's homes it operated.
The experience of people who made complaints to The Salvation Army between 1993 and 2014 will be examined in the hearing, which may run for two weeks.
Janette Dines, CEO of the commission, said in a statement that the policies, practices and procedures between 1989 and 2014 concerning the disciplining of officers of The Salvation Army who were the subject of allegations of child sexual abuse would be examined.
In January, the leader of the Salvation Army, Commissioner James Condon, cried while apologising to victims of child sexual abuse who told the hearing about being raped and bashed and, in some cases, being rented out for sex by one officer when at Bexley Boys' home in NSW in the 1970s.
Commissioner Condon said the army now had a policy in place to respond to abuse victims, which put the survivor first.
The Salvation Army hearing will run for half a day on Thursday, but resume on Friday.
Cardinal George Pell will be back in the witness box on Thursday afternoon to complete his evidence into how the Catholic Church handled complaints by abuse victim John Ellis.
