Supreme Council

The Supreme Council for Australia was vested on 12th October 1985 with 202 Chapters formerly holding allegiance under the Supreme Council for England and Wales or the Supreme Council for Scotland. The numbers of Chapters and Councils were further increased in November 1990 when those associated with the former irregular '64 body in NSW were brought into regularity in this Supreme Council.
