Cardinal George Pell plans to be at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday for the first court hearing on historical sexual assault charges.
Cardinal Pell, 76, was charged on summons on June 29 with multiple historical sexual offence charges involving multiple complainants.
It is understood Cardinal Pell could have asked to have his lawyer appear on his behalf at the filing hearing, but he will appear in person.
It will be a short administrative hearing to set the next dates in the court process.
