Anglican Diocese of Riverina

A proud member of the Anglican Church of Australia.


Welcome to the Anglican Diocese of Riverina.

We provide Christian ministry to the largely remote and rural towns, villages and communities of western New South Wales.
Our Diocese covers the western 37% of the State and seeks to share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ with those who live in these communities. 

There are 12 Parishes and 8 Mission Districts in the Diocese stretching from Corowa in the south-east on the Murray River to Wentworth in the south-west
at the confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers; from the Parish of Broken Hill and The Far West in the north (which includes Tibooburra, White Cliffs and Wilcannia) to Lake Cargelligo, Ariah Park and Coolamon in the east.

Griffith is the administrative centre of the Diocese with the Cathedral Church of St Alban the Martyr and the Diocesan Registry Office.

About Us

The Diocese of Riverina was established from parts of the Diocese of Bathurst and the
Diocese of Goulburn. Our first Bishop, Bishop Sidney Linton, was consecrated on the 1st,
May 1884 and was enthroned the following year in Hay on 18th, March 1885.

Meet the Bishop

The Episcopal See for the Diocese of Riverina is currently vacant.  

Donald Kingsley Kirk was Consecrated and Installed as the Eleventh Bishop of Riverina on Saturday, 15th June at the Cathedral Church of St Alban the Martyr in Griffith. After seven years, Bishop Donald retired on Thursday, the 27th August 2026 on the Feast Day of
St Monica of Hippo. His time as Bishop is marked by a legacy of leadership and kindness, steering the Diocese to a future of continued prosperity.

Please pray that the Diocese of Riverina is blessed with a Twelfth Bishop of Riverina in the near future.
