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 questionnaire will need to be completed by the applicant at an interview usually arranged with the Regional Bishop. To view a copy of the questionnaire and the Faithfulness in Service (Code of Conduct) please click the following links:
Confidential Questionnaire in PDF format will soon be available on the PSU site. The questionnaire requires that you read the Faithfulness in Service.
