There have been Anglican clergy in Australia since the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, and the continent was initially part of the Dicoese of Calcutta until the formation of the Diocese of Australia in 1836 under Bishop W.G. Broughton. The church was constituted as an autonomous body in 1962 when the Constitution of the Church of England in Australia was drawn up. The name was changed to 'Anglican Church of Australia' in 1981. The church meets nationally every three years at the General Synod, with representatives from all 23 dioceses.

Established in 1909 in Sydney by Canon F. B. Boyce, the Anglican Church League furthers the cause of Evangelicalism in Australia and is active in matters relating to, for example, revision of church literature and Synod issues. The League was established in opposition to the Protestant Church of England Union, and is affiliated with the National Church League in England.

The Australasian Board of Missions was established in 1850 and led by the Bishops of the Church of England in Australia and New Zealand. It was constituted as a Board of the church by a Canon of General Synod in 1872. In 1995 the name was changed to the Anglican Board of Mission.
