Overview

Anglicans in Australia were amongst the first in Australian history to establish a national institution when they created a General Synod in 1872. The synod had representatives from every diocese and in 1962 was established on a formal constitutional basis as a clearly autonomous part of the Anglican Communion.

This Governance section covers the General Synod organisational material, the meetings of the synod and its Standing Committee and information on the agencies established by the General Synod.
