In September 2018, the Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay officially launched its Diocesan Office for Safeguarding, an initiative commenced under the leadership of former Bishop, Most Rev Peter A Comensoli. This significant development marked the first stage of a new structure for the safeguarding of children and those who are vulnerable within the Diocesan community, drawing together the valuable work being done in safeguarding, child protection and professional standards across Chancery, Parishes, Catholic Schools and CatholicCare Broken Bay.
