The Catholic Church says it will revisit compensation arrangements under the Melbourne Response with a view to either increasing or removing the current cap of $75,000.
The move comes after Cardinal George Pell last week told the parents of two victims of a paedophile priest that he would make moves to remove the cap and revisit 300 existing claims against the church.
Anthony and Chrissie Foster have spent the last 18 years campaigning for justice for the two eldest daughters, who were abused by paedophile father Kevin O’Donnell.
Anthony Foster said the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart told the ABC’s Lateline program he has agreed to some of their demands.
