Position on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ inclusion
Same-sex marriage in Anglican Church of Australia: No denomination-wide position for or against. The May 2022 General Synod (18th) rejected both a Sydney-led motion declaring same-sex marriage contrary to church teaching (blocked by the House of Bishops 12-10 against, despite Laity 63-47 and Clergy 70-39 in favour) and, the following day, a motion that would have approved same-sex marriage.
Clergy in same-sex relationships: Varies by diocese. Sydney and aligned dioceses do not ordain clergy in same-sex relationships; other dioceses have wider practice. Diocese of Sydney also does not ordain women to the priesthood.

Frequently asked questions
How many Anglican churches are there in Australia?
The Anglican Church of Australia is the second-largest single Christian denomination in Australia. It is organised into 23 dioceses spanning every state and territory, each led by a bishop. The directory lists active Anglican parishes across all dioceses where they have publicly published location and contact details.
What is the difference between Anglican and Catholic churches?
Both share the same early Christian roots, sacraments, and liturgical worship structure. The Anglican Church of Australia became autonomous from the Church of England in 1962 and does not recognise the Pope as its head. Some Anglican parishes ("Anglo-Catholic") closely resemble Catholic worship; others ("Evangelical Anglican", particularly in Sydney diocese) emphasise Reformed Protestant theology.
Does the Anglican Church of Australia support LGBT inclusion?
The Anglican Church of Australia is divided on LGBT inclusion. Some dioceses (e.g. Wangaratta, Newcastle) have approved blessings of same-sex civil marriages; others (notably Sydney) maintain a traditional position that marriage is between a man and a woman. The Diocesan Synod of each diocese sets local policy.
How do I address an Anglican vicar or priest in Australia?
A parish priest is addressed as "Father [Surname]" in Anglo-Catholic parishes, or "Reverend [Surname]" / "Rev [Surname]" in Evangelical parishes. A bishop is "Bishop [Surname]" in conversation and "The Right Reverend [Full Name]" in writing. An archbishop is "Archbishop [Surname]" / "The Most Reverend".
What is the Anglican Church called in Australia?
Its formal name is the Anglican Church of Australia (since 1981; previously "Church of England in Australia"). It is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion and remains in full communion with the Church of England and other Anglican provinces.
Does the Anglican Church of Australia ordain women?
Yes, since 1992 when the first women were ordained as priests. Women are also eligible for the episcopate (bishop): the first female Anglican bishop in Australia was consecrated in 2008. Sydney diocese maintains a complementarian position and does not ordain women to the priesthood within its boundaries.
