Christopher Charles Prowse has been appointed after four years as the Bishop of Sale in Victoria.
He will take up his new role in November.
Bishop Prowse has pledged his full support to victims of sexual abuse within the church.
He says it is important the church recognises the trauma suffered by victims of institutional abuse.
“Wonderful brave people that have come forward and said that they have suffered at the hands of church personnel, it’s an enormous tragedy, great drama of our time,” he said.
“But when I sit down and speak to the victims, I listen to stories of great heroism and if we can help them in any shape or form that’s our top priority.”
