Despite the misconduct findings, Hollingworth was deemed not to be an unacceptable risk of harm and found fit to continue as a priest, a role he resumed after his brief stint as governor general ended in 2003.

Guardian Australia understands decisions made by the board are open to appeal through a separate body in the convoluted Anglican complaints mechanism, known as the professional standards committee.

Hollingworth declined to comment on the calls for an appeal.

Hollingworth is not accused of abuse himself.
