Religion & Places of Worship

There is complete freedom of religion in Australia. Most of the world religions are represented in Sydney and have their own places of worship. These can be found in the Sydney White Pages, listed alphabetically under the denomination.

The majority of Australians are Christian, the three largest denominations being Anglican, Roman Catholic and Uniting Church. Smaller Christian denominations include Lutheran, Jehovah’s Witness, Seventh Day Adventist and Baptist. Other major religions with a great many adherents in Australia include Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism.

Student Religious Clubs

There is a number of religious clubs on campus to cater for students of various faiths. During the first week of the academic year, usually all student groups will have a stall in the main courtyard. This period gives new students the opportunity to meet others of the same faith. Macquarie University also has a Muslim prayer room for all Muslim students.
