International Clergy

As a receiving church, the Australian Church is committed to acculturation as a process
whereby members of one cultural group come to understand the customs, habits and behaviours of their new cultural home.

This process demands mutual exchange, appreciation and understanding by all —
both the newly arrived and those welcoming them.

In recent years, the Archdiocese of Melbourne has welcomed several clergy from
overseas dioceses and seminaries. To support their induction, programs of acculturation
into both the Australian community and Australian Catholic Church have been developed
and implemented.

During the first months in Melbourne, various offices provide a supportive environment in
which team members accompany the international clergy as they orientate themselves
and settle into a new way of life.

To ensure successful integration and the best possible outcome for both the
incoming clergy and the Archdiocese, a commitment from all parties to collaborate
and information-sharing is essential. This helps to foster trust, empathy and mutual respect.

All international clergy living and working within the Archdiocese are required to
undertake the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) assessment.

After the initial orientation program is completed, ongoing support is provided through mentoring, English language assistance, immersion into parish life, participation in clergy gatherings, and other social and community events.
