The Anglican Church of Australia replaced the Church of England in Australia and Tasmania in 1981. It continued to run Roland Children's Home until the early 1990s and Clarendon Children's Home until 2006. In 1998, in response to a public outcry, the Church released Not the way of Christ, an inquiry into sexual misconduct and paedophilia by its clergy in Tasmania. No children's homes are mentioned in this report. Since 1983, under the auspices of the Church, Anglicare Tasmania has offered services to people in crisis. It also runs the Social Action and Research Centre.
