A former Catholic priest will face court after being charged with the alleged historic sexual assault of seven youths at a Dundas educational facility.

His arrest comes after allegations of a series of assaults during the late 1980s were raised during the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

Police said the man, 58, was initially arrested at his Hamilton home in New Zealand on July 31 following a three-year investigation.

At about 7am on Wednesday, November 22, Rosehill police travelled to New Zealand and extradited the accused to Australia.
