Our Team

Administration

The Principal, the academic and executive head of the College, leads Mannix and works closely with all staff to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the College.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne

Mannix College derives its authority from the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, under the direction of Bishop Peter A. Comensoli, the Archbishop of Melbourne.

The Archdiocese appoints the College Council to both govern and provide strategic direction. The Principal, with the support of the Council, ensures the College remains financially viable and operational.

College Council

The College Council comprises dynamic professionals responsible for overseeing the College’s strategic direction, plans, and performance.

The Council is chaired by the Most Rev Anthony J. Ireland DD STD and is comprised of Mr Andrew Swan (Principal), Professor Bryan Horrigan (Monash University Representative), Craig Milner, Shane Healy, James Fitzpatrick, Carolyn Young and Fletcher Smith (2024 Mannix College Student Society President).
