Origin/meaning

As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the (arch)bishop.

The arms are based on those of an Irish Cahill family and used here to symbolise the last name of the bishop.

The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of (arch)bishop.
