| Short description | The Anglican Church in Australia originated with the establishment of colonial settlements in New South Wales in 1788. It officially became the Anglican Church of Australia in 1981, transitioning from the Church of England. In Queensland, the Church of England managed various children’s homes and Aboriginal missions. The Anglican Church of Australia consists of 23 dioceses across the country, each led by a diocesan bishop and supported by clergy and lay members. Parishes serve as centers for prayer and worship, ranging from large urban congregations to small, close-knit communities in remote areas. |
