The Catholic archbishop of Adelaide will plead not guilty to a charge of concealing child sexual abuse.

Philip Wilson, 64, has been charged with one count of concealing information about a serious indictable offence, namely the 1971 sex assault of a 10-year-old boy by a former priest, James Patrick Fletcher, in Maitland in the NSW Hunter region.

Wilson was excused from appearing on Thursday at Newcastle local court.
