[ACNS, by Gavin Drake] Complaints of church-based sexual abuse in
Australia’s internal province of Victoria will be investigated by an
independent body with its own board of directors. The dioceses of
Melbourne and Bendigo have already approved the new structure, which
will be considered by the dioceses of Wangaratta, Ballarat and Gippsland
next year. The new body is being established by the Church but is
separate from the dioceses and their archbishop. It will work across a
number of dioceses.
