A commission of inquiry into child sexual abuse in Tasmanian institutions, which examined allegations of child maltreatment at the centre, began in October 2021. The commission published its report in September 2023. The Tasmanian government accepted all of the report's recommendations, and committed to implementing a new youth justice policy in line with the commission's findings.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Youth_Detention_Centre#cite_note-kcs-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Youth_Detention_Centre#cite_note-3)
