Every priest is subject to a Bishop, the Bishop of his diocese. When a man is ordained to the priesthood, he makes a vow of obedience to his Bishop and his successors. There are five different dioceses in Australia, so no one Bishop has jurisdiction over all the priests, save the Pope, who has direct jurisdiction over every cleric in the world.
