Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania

The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania (formerly the Episcopal Assembly of Oceania) consists of all the active Orthodox bishops in Oceanía representing multiple jurisdictions. It may be considered a successor to SCCOCA [Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Churches in Australia]. However, it is not, properly speaking, a synod. It is one of several such bodies around the world which operate in the so-called "diaspora."

Overview
The assembly began when delegates from the 14 autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches met at the Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Chambésy, Switzerland, on June 6–12, 2009. At that time, the conference decided to sanction the establishment of episcopal assemblies in 12 regions of the so-called Eastern Orthodox diaspora which are beyond the boundaries of the autocephalous churches. Such assemblies have the authority to propose future administrative structures for the Church in their respective regions.

Jurisdictions
The current jurisdictions in the region include the following, ordered according to diptych:
 * Ecumenical Patriarchate
 * Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and Exarchate of Papua New Guinea
 * Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Zealand and Exarchate of All Oceania
