In 1982, the Archdiocese founded [[St. Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College (Sydney, Australia)|St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College]] in Sydney, with Archbishop Stylianos as the first dean. In 1991, Fr Seraphim was consecrated to the episcopacy, as titular bishop of Apollonias. In 2001, Fr Nikandros (Palyvos) was consecrated to the episcopacy, as titular bishop of Dorileou.
The first new parish for many years, St Therapon in Warhoonga, northern Sydney, began services in February 2006. Soon after, [[St. Andrew's Orthodox Press]] published their first book, ''The Divine Liturgy of Our Father among the Saints John Chrysostom'', a bilingual text.
