ATTORNEY-General Nicola Roxon says the royal commission into child abuse will determine if the confidentiality of the Catholic confessional should be broken to ensure pedophile priests are reported to authorities.

Ms Roxon said she was currently consulting with her state counterparts to determine the terms of reference of the commission and expected ?several commissioners? to be chosen to work on the inquiry.
