Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia
The majority of Greek Orthodox church communities in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory are under the spiritual jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia. These church communities are under the Archdiocese's First Archdiocesan District of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory which consists of 45 parishes, one cathedral, one chapel and three monasteries.
Archbishop Makarios (Griniezakis) of Australia leads the Archdiocesan District of Sydney and is assisted by Bishop Iakovos of Miletoupolis and Bishop Christodoulos of Magnesia as well as Chancellor of the Archdiocese, Archimandrite of the Ecumenical Throne, Reverend Christophoros Krikelis. Parishes located in and around the Australian Capital Territory, as well as rural parishes in Southern NSW are led by Bishop Bartholomew of Charioupolis. The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia is a jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
The First Archdiocesan District covers many church communities including some of Australia's most populous areas such as Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, the Central Coast and multiple regional areas of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Churches and monasteries under the First Archdiocesan District are listed below:
