The Australian Church Directory (auschurches.com.au) is an independent, free-to-use directory listing 13,335 active Christian churches across every Australian state and territory. Listings include addresses, denomination, contact details, and service times where publicly available. The directory is not affiliated with any denomination, parish, or church network, accepts no paid placements, and is cross-denominational by design.

Methodology

Listings are aggregated from publicly available denominational directories (Catholic archdioceses, Anglican dioceses, Uniting Church synods, Lutheran Church of Australia, Salvation Army, Seventh-day Adventist) and from independent church websites. Each listing captures name, denomination, suburb, state, postcode, address, and contact details where publicly published. Geocoordinates are derived either from the source dataset or from address-based geocoding.

Full sourcing detail, including per-source methodology and known limitations, is published at /about/sourcing. Editorial principles are at /about/editorial-policy.
