The second day of public hearings in the Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence has heard victim-survivors from regional and remote areas are being deterred from seeking forensic medical examinations. The commission heard instances of women travelling hours or even days to Adelaide for the time-sensitive treatment, with some not being able to make the trip at all.
