The Standing Committee for the Diocese of Sydney has reserved $1.2 million for an Aboriginal Ministry Trust Fund. Speaking about the initiative, the Archbishop of Sydney, the Most Revd Harry Goodhew said: "This is a good move as it is intended to encourage the development of Aboriginal Ministry in the Diocese of Sydney. It is intended to be spent on the training and developing of Aboriginal ministers who will lead and minister to their own people."

Income from the new fund will be used for planting Anglican Churches in the Diocese where indigenous people may minister; for selection, training and supporting of indigenous people to minister in those churches; for the establishment and support of such churches and for the education and awareness of the whole Church in relation to indigenous issues.
