Australia -- Rape victims will be more inclined to come forward and seek justice under reforms to the law covering sexual assault, NSW Attorney General Bob Debus says.
Under the changes, judges and police will be asked to attend education seminars as part of the reforms.
Victims will have access to one-stop sexual assault centres so they no longer have to separately visit hospitals, police and community service organisations following their ordeal.
The changes also reduce the number of times victims have to give evidence and face cross-examination, and some will have the option of giving evidence through a third person.
