The Adelaide Sunday Mail reported that the Archdiocese of Adelaide's Director of Professional Standards Sue Cain said there would be no change to the existing system under which cases were assessed individually and all legal fees paid "in many cases".
This was despite a revised Towards Healing principles and procedures guidelines document provided to lawyers representing abuse victims stating otherwise.
The document says "as support persons are not remunerated for their role in the process, no legal fees are payable to support persons who are legal practitioners".
This statement has never been made in any previous policy documents for the Towards Healing program.
