Child sexual abuse survivors from Ballarat are due back in Melbourne after flying to Rome to watch Cardinal George Pell give evidence.

The group of survivors used a crowd-funding campaign to get to Rome after Cardinal Pell was ruled too ill to travel to Australia to give evidence to the child abuse royal commission.

Cardinal Pell met with the survivors for two hours in Rome after giving four days of evidence via video link to the commission.

The group is due to land back in Melbourne at 6.30am on Sunday.
