There are 25 parishes and missions across Australia, 8 parishes and missions in the Deanery of New Zealand, and approximately 37,500 faithful in the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and New Zealand. The Archdiocese also has one female monastery of St Anna in Victoria, and runs the Melbourne Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies.
The Antiochian Orthodox Diocese of Australasia was a founding member of SCCOCA. The Antiochian Archdiocese believes this organisation, after being moribund for quite a number of years, finally became defunct in the year 2000.
