About CEC

The Catholic Education Commission NSW was established by the NSW Bishops in 1974 and is responsible to them for funding contract management, advocacy and representation of Catholic education at a state level. The Commission is governed by the CEC charter approved by the NSW Bishops.

The Commission provides leadership in Catholic education, through service to Dioceses, Religious Institutes and Parents. It functions through consultation with Diocesan Directors, Religious Institutes, Principal and Parent associations.

The Commission will witness to its own commitment to Christ as part of the Church's mission of education in faith and will model and promote a faith relationship with Christ.

The Commission has no authority to become involved in the administration of Diocesan system schools or Congregational schools, except in relation to funding contract management.

The Commission's meetings are held monthly from February to November.
