Parent church Church of England in Australia

The Diocese of Kalgoorlie was a diocese of the Church of England in Australia (now the Anglican Church of Australia [1] ). It covered much of the Goldfields-Esperance region in Western Australia, and existed from the consecration of its first bishop in 1914 [2] until its re-absorption back into the Anglican Diocese of Perth in 1973. [3] At that point the Kalgoorlie diocese was reported to contain only eight parishes, and was financially unviable as a separate entity. [4]

The cathedral was St John the Baptist, Kalgoorlie, which before and after the separate existence of the diocese was the parish church of Kalgoorlie. [5]
