Brittany Higgins is leading a powerful push to reform NSW courts by letting sexual assault survivors prerecord their testimony — a move backed by 26 organizations who say it reduces trauma and speeds healing. While Australia’s Law Reform Commission recommended this in 2025, NSW lags behind Victoria, which has already pledged to adopt it. Higgins, a vocal advocate since her own experience, insists this change doesn’t soften justice — it honors survivors’ dignity by letting them choose how they testify, cutting down on years of emotional toll and court delays. It’s a step toward trauma-informed justice, expanding a practice already used for child victims to adult survivors.
