Bishop Fox’s official coat of arms features the Sale Diocese arms on the left hand side and on the right above a diagonal yellow line is a five pointed star and below, a pelican. This pelican is drawn in the traditional heraldic manner with wings spread, wounding her breast with her beak (vulning) so as to feed her blood to her young. The pelican is an obvious feature of the Fox arms because it appears on various Fox family arms, notably those of famous Bishop of Derham, England, Bishop Richard Fox, who established Corpus Christi College in Winchester. The pelican is also on the coat of arms of Corpus Christ College, Werribee, where Bishop Fox attended seminary.
The motto In Deo Spero translates  as In Hope in God.
Bishop Fox had a modified version of the arms on his letterhead (see black and white sketch at right) with the diagonal yellow stripe meeting the yellow bar on the left and a Marian symbol placed in the star. In a break from heraldic tradition, he altered the Diocese arms on the left hand side of the shield by placing  the three wavy stars (estoiles) in a vertical line instead of two and one pattern, and made the stars much plumper.

The arms of Bishop Prowse were developed when he was an auxiliary bishop in Melbourne.
The traditional green hat signifies a bishop as does the three layers of six green tassles down each side of the shield. Since becoming archbishop another layer of four tassles has been added on each side.
The staff surmounting by a single cross running behind the shield is also a traditional heraldic symbol for a bishop. The light blue background on the arms represents the Marian presence caring for the Church. The Southern Cross in the top left recalls that Bishop Prowse is an Australian under the sign and protection of the Cross of Jesus Christ – the principal Christian symbol.
The monogram of Maria Regina in the top right signified the bishop’s devotion to Mary, Mother and Queen. She always leads us to Jesus. She is active contemplative at the heart of the Church. It reminds Bishop Prowse that he served in several parishes whose Patroness was the Blessed Virgin Mary.The open Bible and letters Alpha and Omega refer to Christ, the beginning and the end. At the Easter Vigil we pray “Christ yesterday and today, the beginning and the end. The Alpha and Omega. All time belongs to Him and all the ages. To Him be glory and power through every age and forever. Amen.”This symbol is also that of Catholic Theological College where Bishop Prowse lectured from 1988 to 2001.
The motto “Only Jesus” (solus jesus in the Latin version of his arms) comes from the Transfiguration. “Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no-one with them any more but only Jesus.” (Mark 9:8)
