Profile of the Diocese

A Diocesan Profile was prepared to assist candidates in their discernment. It is hoped that the document below will assist Synod members in understanding the breadth and scope of the role of Archbishop of Melbourne.

The Anglican Diocese of Melbourne is a place where the dignity of each person is recognised, respected and fostered and is committed to ensuring the safety of vulnerable persons, particularly children. The Diocese has zero tolerance for child abuse and will treat very seriously all allegations and concerns.  

In line with this commitment to child safety, the Diocese has put in place policies and procedures to uphold the Victorian Child Safe Standards. These standards aim to promote child safety, prevent child abuse and set up processes to properly respond to allegations of child abuse.  Further information regarding the requirements of the Diocese can be found here: https://www.melbourneanglican.org.au/safe_ministry_documents/ In particular, any candidates will be required to have a valid Working with Children Check and to undergo Safe Ministry Checks and regular Safe Ministry training, and to be under Professional Supervision.
