Scientology Churches and Activities and Dianetics Groups in Australia

Australia has been home to Scientology activities since the beginning. Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health was published in 1950 and Dianetics counseling groups sprung up around the country overnight.

Australia also has a Saint Hill organization which is a college where Scientology auditors (ministers and ministers-in-training who are learning Scientology counseling technology) get advanced training. This is named after Saint Hill Manor in England, where Scientology founder,L. Ron Hubbard lived for much of the 1960's where he did much of the research and developement of Scientology applied religious philosophy. There is also an Advanced Organization where Scientologists move up to higher levels of spiritual awareness. These two organizations are combined and called AOSH ANZO (AO for Advanced Organization, SH for Saint Hill, and ANZO for Australia, New Zealand and Oceania).

Scientology churches in Australia do a great deal of work in their communities, including drug education programs . One of their most successful anti-drug programs is called the "Drug Free Ambassadors ", where kids pledge not to take drugs and to help get their friends to commit to the same thing.
