The Diocese of North Queensland covers an area approximately three times the size of Great Britain or roughly the same size of the entire state of South Australia.
The Diocese is situated in the north eastern tropics of Australia, from near Mackay in the south to the border with Papua New Guinea in the north, incorporating the islands of the Torres Straits, and stretching west to the Northern Territory border.
Although formerly regarded as a bush diocese, it is now mostly an industrial area, with vast mining developments at Mt Isa and on its southern coast.
There is also an extensive sugar industry running along the coast from Mackay to Cairns, a substantial cattle industry on the western plains, and a growing tourist industry throughout its area.
Within the Diocese there are 56 Parishes and Ministry Districts with 120 clergy caring for them.
