Corpus Christi College trains priests for the archdioceses of Melbourne and Hobart and the dioceses of Ballarat, Sandhurst and Sale, as well as the Archdiocese of Adelaide, the Archdiocese of Canberra-Goulburn, the Diocese of Bathurst, the Military Ordinariate of Australia, and the Archdiocese of Hanoi and the Diocese of Vinh in Vietnam.
