Presbyterian Inland Mission

The Presbyterian Inland Mission is the successor in the Presbyterian Church of Australia to the work of the Australian Inland Mission, founded by Rev. John Flynn. The equivalent in the Uniting Church is called Frontier Services.

Presbyterian Inland Mission operates a number of patrols, where members travel between settlements and stations in inland and outback Australia. They proselytize and provide pastoral care and community assistance, including helping dealing with drought and isolation.

Their current headquarters are near Ardlethan.

There is one patrol area in Western Australia, two in New South Wales, three in Queensland and one in Tasmania.[1]
