Origin/meaning

Although the shield is impaled, it is not a combination of the diocesan arms (as the diocese does not use any) and the personal arms.

The (heraldic) right half of the shield shows two sheaves of wheat above the curved line, representing the Hunter River, and is from the Coat of Arms of the City of Maitland. The lower half shows Nobby's Head and is taken from the crest of City of Newcastle.

This half thus represents the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.

The other half shows a lion rampant, taken from the arms of a Malone family and is used to symbolise the last name of the bishop. The two stars refer to the motto Lux et Veritas (light and truth).
