The Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn (previously known as the Church of England Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn) was first established as a separate diocese (the Diocese of Goulburn, New South Wales) in 1863. As the new city of Canberra developed in the early twentieth century, the Diocese of Goulburn also became responsible for Church of England activities in the Australian Capital Territory. The Church of England changed its name to the Anglican Church in 1983 and the Diocese followed suit. The Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn has been responsible for a number of children's homes in both New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The Diocese manages records relating to St Saviour's Children's Home and Bungarimbil Boys' Home.
