Grand Council

The Grand Council for Southern Australia, comprising the States of Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia was constituted on October 31, 1966, with Sir George Boag, Grand Supreme Ruler of England, Wales, etc., presiding and George Cameron Kingscott being installed as first Grand Supreme Ruler. In subsequent years, the Grand Council has added Conclaves in Western Australia, relinquished Conclaves in South Australia, and has, in its relatively short history, issued 32 warrants (refer to Conclaves pages for more information).

Grand Council is led by the Grand Supreme Ruler, supported by his Deputies and Grand Officers. Following are (collapsible) lists of Grand Supreme Rulers of this Grand Council and the current team of Grand Officers:
