History

The diocese was separated from the Diocese of Melbourne in 1902, at the same time as the creation of the dioceses of Wangaratta and Gippsland. In 1977, the Diocese of St Arnaud, which had been separated from the Diocese of Ballarat in 1926, was disbanded and merged with Bendigo.

The original cathedral church of the diocese was All Saints, Bendigo, but since 1981 the cathedral church has been St Paul's. Since 17 February 2018, the Bishop of Bendigo has been Matt Brain.

The Gannawarra Cluster is an initiative by the diocese to provide a team of locally ordained clergy to offer ministry to three geographically connected parishes, Cohuna, Kerang, and Quambatook.
