Safeguarding and Ministerial Integrity Office
The focus of the Safeguarding Office is the prevention of abuse and harm to children, young people and the vulnerable within our Archdiocese. If you or a person close to you has been abused by someone working or ministering within the Archdiocese of Sydney, we invite you to contact us. We will listen to you respectfully, offer support and discuss the options you have available to you. Please contact the Safeguarding and Ministerial Integrity Office on (02) 9390 5810 or [email protected]
You may also want to speak to our Parish Priest who will be able to provide support and guidance. The Archdiocese has a legal obligation to report crimes to the police.

WWCC Renewal & Updating Personal Details
Please advise parish office via email whenever you update or renew your WWCC number including any contact details e.g. name, phone number, address changes, within three months. Penalties will apply for people who don’t update. And, it is required by the Archdiocese, that only those who have current Working with Children Check Number will be able to serve in the Ministry.
Working With Children Check (WWCC) Renewal
Working with Children Check (WWCC) lasts for five years and then needs to be renewed. From time to time the parish needs to update its records of who is undertaking which volunteering roles. Please kindly provide these details at your earliest convenience as we will need to re-verify your renewed WWC number.
In great news for you, you can now skip the queue and digitally renew your WWCC in as little as 10 minutes. The new process is streamlined, efficient and secure. Enabled by photo verification tech, the process delivers a high-level of security by ensuring the images are destroyed after the real-time check is completed, without the hassle of submitting physical documents.
