Survivors said the laws enacted in February stopped their right to speak publicly and use their real names before first seeking permission from a court.

Attorney-General Jill Hennessy on Tuesday announced amendments to the Judicial Proceedings Reports Act to allow survivors to tell their stories without seeking judicial consent.

The bill will clarify that survivors can publish their identities and allow most to be identified by consent without court involvement.

She added the changes would continue to protect the privacy of survivors who want to remain anonymous.

"Surviving sexual assault is not a source of shame - our laws will enable victim-survivors can speak publicly, on their terms," Ms Hennessy said.

"We will protect victim-survivors' rights to share their story, giving them the opportunity to heal and advocate for change so that we rid society of this violent behaviour."

Last month, three Melbourne sisters were allowed to speak out about their alleged abuse by former school principal Malka Leifer after a court overturned the privacy order.

Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper allege Leifer abused them when she was the head of Melbourne's Ultra-Orthodox Adass Israel School.

The trio has been vocal advocates in Australia's long-running bid to extradite Leifer from Israel to face 74 child sexual abuse charges.
