Richard Appleby (bishop)

Richard Franklin Appleby (born 17 November 1940) is a retired Australian Anglican bishop.[1]

Appleby he was educated at the University of Melbourne.[2] Ordained in 1967,[3] his first posts were curacies in Glenroy and North Balwyn.[4] He was then warden of Wollaston College and chaplain to the Archbishop of Perth. From 1975 he was rector of Belmont and then Dean of Bathurst (1980–1983). From his consecration as a bishop on 2 February 1983[5] to 1992 he was Assistant Bishop of Newcastle;[6] then he became diocesan Bishop of the Northern Territory until 1999; he served as an Assistant Bishop of Brisbane for the Northern Region,[7] until 5 February 2006; and finally as Bishop Assisting the Primate of Australia.[8] He is married to Elizabeth Appleby.[9]

On 19 February 2019, the Professional Standards Tribunal of the Newcastle diocese recommended that Appleby be removed from holy orders as a result of his failure to protect children after being informed of instances of child sexual abuse in the 1980s and '90s. However, a review board determined that Appleby had been denied procedural fairness in the decision.[10]
