The '''Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Churches in Australia''' (SCCOCA) was an organisation founded in 1979 under the leadership of [[Archbishop]] [[Stylianos (Harkianakis) of Australia]] and intended to help cooperation among the Orthodox jurisdictions in Australia, under the permanent chairmanship of the representative of the [[Church of Constantinople|Ecumenical Patriarchate]].
It could be presumed, but has not been officially stated, that SCCOCA was superseded by the Episcopal Assembly of Oceania.
