History
Since 1823, Presbyterian Churches have taken an active part in Australian society.
The Presbyterian Church of Victoria, together with the Presbyterian Church in each of the other states, forms the Presbyterian Church of Australia, which came into being on 24 July 1901 as the mainline Presbyterian denomination in Australia in historic continuity with the Church of Scotland and the Free Church of Scotland.
