About the organisation
The Anglican Diocese of Newcastle has been serving the Hunter and Central Coast regions of NSW since 1847. In 2017, it established a skills-based board to oversee its work in aged care, education, disability, community services, and central administration. We are known regionally through our key brands of Samaritans and Anglican Care as well the four diocesan schools.
Led by the Anglican Bishop of Newcastle we are devoted to human flourishing in ways that are consistent with the Christian faith. With over 3000 workers, we provide services to thousands of people every week.
We have a strong leadership and management team with significant subject-matter expertise. We aim to be people’s choice of employer and service-provider.
We exercise trusteeship of a considerable asset portfolio and the combined budget of its organisations exceeds $200 million annually.
We have ten directors and 5 sub-committees (Audit and Risk, Governance and Remuneration, Care Governance, Finance – Budget – Investment, and Child Development).
The various entities governed by the Board are registered charities with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission.
