Welcome to Newcastle Anglican
With a rich history, Newcastle Anglican offers a Christian presence, inspired by the way of Jesus, within the diocese of Newcastle.
Our purpose is to enable the people of our community to flourish with a focus on extending our outreach, time, passion, and energy towards supporting the needs of our community.
The diocese of Newcastle extends along the coast of New South Wales, from Woy Woy to Laurieton and inland to Merriwa and Murrurundi. Newcastle Anglican serves this region through our parishes, schools, Samaritans, Anglican Care, Anglican Savings and Development Fund, and several chaplaincies and organisations.

Our Apology and Accountability
Newcastle Anglican recognises that children were harmed while participating in activities associated with the Diocese. The Bishop and Synod express their sincere and deep apology to every survivor. We are accountable for the safety of others. We are committed to the processes of redress and survivor support.
