Visiting Clergy | Diocese of Parramatta

All visiting clergy and religious, with and without an ACMR number, who wish to minister in the Diocese of Parramatta, must uphold the standards and processes we have put in place to ensure the safety of our community and request permission from the Diocese prior to undertaking any ministry.

Scroll down to learn more about the requirements and how to apply.

Sitepass is Coming Soon!

We’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of Sitepass – a simple, efficient, and secure digital check-in platform designed to support Safeguarding when clergy and lay speakers minister and present across the Diocese.

Sitepass will make it easier to confirm ministry authorisation and compliance, helping parishes ensure that those ministering within the Diocese of Parramatta have the appropriate credentials in place.

Sitepass is where Safeguarding meets innovation.

More information, resources, and support will be available soon.
Watch this space!

SAFEGUARDING DECLARATIONS

Approval for a Speaker or Presenter from Outside the Diocese form

Form

Please note that prior to engaging a speaker, presenter, facilitator or performer from outside the Diocese of Parramatta to give a presentation, lead a workshop or retreat, or make any other presentation to a parish or ministry event, this form needs to be completed and forwarded to the Office of the Bishop at [email protected] at least one month prior to the event.
