This disclosure contains conflict of interest registers for staff of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, with extensive redactions under section 22(1) (personal privacy) and section 47F(1) (business affairs). The visible entries show declarations from two advisors with potential conflicts: one former official with a previous advisory role regarding the Catholic Church, and another with multiple connections to Catholic institutions including current employment as a yoga instructor, parish committee memberships, and prior board positions. Both officers declared these interests and agreed to management strategies including supervisor notification if their affiliated institutions became subjects of investigation and maintenance of strict confidentiality. The register captures attempts to balance transparency about potential biases against the practical need for expert advisors with relevant institutional knowledge, though most identifying details and specific witness payment documentation remain redacted.
