A former Catholic priest in central Victoria has been charged with more than 30 historical child sexual abuse offences.

Taskforce Sano detectives are investigating the accusations against former Kyneton priest Peter Waters, which are alleged to have occurred between 1973 and 1986.

The offences included indecent assault on males aged 12 to 19 and carnal knowledge of a girl aged 10 to 16 years old.

Mr Waters, 72, was parish priest at Kyneton during the 1990s.

The Phillip Island man will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on August 18.
