Reports to General Synod 2022

This page contains reports of General Synod bodies and other bodies connected to the Anglican Church of Australia.  Each individual report can be accessed by clicking on the hyperlink provided.

The reports are arranged in groups reflecting the governance relationship each body has with the Church, including:

  • Bodies established by the General Synod and operating under its direction;
  • Bodies established by the General Synod and operating independently;
  • Anglican bodies established independently of the General Synod.

A number of these reports, particularly those from the General Synod Commissions, provide background material relevant to motions on the Business Paper for the Session of the General Synod.

Also included is a report on engagement with the Anglican Communion, through the Province of Australia’s representation on the Anglican Consultative Council.

The Protection of the Environment Canon 2007 requires every diocese which adopts the Canon to report to each ordinary session of the General Synod as to its progress against the objectives of the Canon.

These reports reflect the diversity and reach of the Church’s mission and the contribution of the many individuals who contribute to the work of the Anglican Church of Australia.
