The royal commission is expected to hear from the former Bishop of Ballarat as it continues to investigate historic child sex abuse in the western Victorian city.
Ronald Mulkearns was in charge of the Ballarat diocese during one of its darkest periods.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse has already heard that the former bishop received numerous complaints about paedophile priests over three decades.
But those complaints were not referred to police.
The royal commission heard Bishop Mulkearns instead moved the priests around western Victoria where they continued to offend.
