Product overview

The Anglican Diocese of Perth is a religious organization offering a diverse portfolio of community-focused services rather than a unified technology product. The core digital presence is the perth.anglican.org website providing access to church finder tools, life event services (baptisms, weddings, funerals), and the Digital Church Hub. The Diocese operates through affiliated agencies including: Anglicare WA (community services), Amana Living (aged care), Parkerville Children and Youth Care, St George's College (university residential), AngliSchools (16 schools network), Anglican Community Fund (financial services), and Wollaston Theological College (theological education). Additional services include Swan Valley Adventure Centre (outdoor activities), The Wollaston Library (35,000+ theological resources), and The Messenger (monthly publication). These products operate independently under the Diocese's umbrella, serving communities across Western Australia with educational, social, healthcare, and spiritual services.
