The Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn began in 1863 as a separate diocese (the Diocese of Goulburn), incorporating the new capital as it developed.
The Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn works to maintain effective communication with diocesan entities, and to assist the overall strategic development of the Anglican Church in the Canberra and Goulburn region.
During 1974-1975, the Diocese acquired responsibility for hostels in Lyneham and Curtin providing supervised accommodation to young people. The hostels were formerly run by Outreach Incorporated.
