Best Answer

The President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference is the Most Rev Philip E Wilson.

The President and Vice-President are each elected for two-year terms. The President of the ACBC occasionally makes statements either on behalf of the whole Conference, or by virtue of his position as President.

The Permanent Committee is the Executive and Standing Committee of the Conference. The President is ex officio. Other members are elected for terms of two years.

Cardinal George Pell is often mistaken for the head of the Catholic Church in Australia. This is incorrect. He is the Cardinal and Archbishop of Sydney, but being a cardinal does not give him jurisdiction over other bishops, or the church in general outside his archdiocese.
