Clergy should hold a licence from the Archbishop whether they are working in a parish or assisting within the Diocese.
All Clergy from outside the Diocese of Sydney will need to be approved by the Archbishop prior to licensing. The necessary Oath and Declarations and a confidential lifestyle questionnaire will need to be completed by the applicant at an interview usually arranged with the Regional Bishop or Archdeacon. To view a copy of the questionnaire and the Faithfulness in Service please click the below links.
The confidential lifestyle questionnaire is available on the Safe Ministry website of the Professional Standards Unit. The questionnaire is located at the bottom of the Safe Ministry resources page and available in Word format or PDF format. The questionnaire requires that you read Faithfulness in Service.
Assistant Ministers:

Working with Children Check:
Clergy need to complete the Working with Children Check each time a new appointment is commenced or licence is issued. The NSW Commission for Children and Young People also require a 100 points identity check for all background checks. The 100 points identity check is only required to be completed once, if you have previously completed an indentity check you do not need to complete it again. If you are unsure, please email the Deputy Registrar.
Please complete the Applicant Declaration and Consent form and the identity check (if needed) and return them to the Diocesan Registry with your application form. For further information please visit the Professional Standards Unit site.
