Abuse survivors who have been under-compensated by the Anglican Church in Queensland could have payments topped up, a royal commission has heard.
The Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane, Phillip Aspinall, who was continuing his evidence to a child sex abuse commission hearing into private school St Paul’s, said on Friday an independent umpire examine settlements already made by the diocese.
Dr Aspinall said he was satisfied recent payments met the benchmarks set by the royal commission, but there would be a review of all settlements made “without the benefit of those benchmarks”.
The diocese “will be very open to making some adjustments”, he said.
