The Catholic Archdiocese is expanding its property holdings in East Melbourne just as the church faces a wave of compensation claims from victims of sexual abuse.
The Archdiocese of Melbourne has swooped on an office at 384-388 Albert Street owned by the Bionic Ear Institute, paying more than $12 million for the double-storey heritage-listed building.
The Bionics Institute has owned the building since 1990.

The corner property is opposite the Archdiocese’s office on Albert Street behind St Patrick’s Cathedral and close to the Australian Catholic University on Victoria Parade.
