How It Works

One directory. Three communities.
Recurring income for your parish.

ParishLocal handles the technology and the admin. Your parish handles the welcome.

For Parishes

From registration to recurring income in four simple steps.

1

Register your parish

Fill in a short registration form. We set up your parish’s dedicated directory page with no technical skills needed. Your parish admin gets a login to manage everything.

2

Invite your community

Share your directory link in the parish bulletin, at Mass, and on social media. Parishioners can recommend local businesses they have personally used and appreciated. ParishLocal provides ready-made promotional materials to make this easy.

3

Review and approve listings

You review every listing before it goes live and assign the appropriate badge: Parishioner-Owned, Community Recommended, or Parish Supporter.

4

Raise recurring funds

Listing fees are collected through the platform and remitted to your parish quarterly. Renewals happen automatically each year, with reminders sent to businesses on your behalf.

Parishioner-Owned

Businesses owned by members of the parish community.

Recommended by a member of the parish community based on personal experience. Not a formal endorsement by the parish.

Parish Supporter

Local businesses choosing to support the parish financially.

For Businesses

Get listed in your local parish directory in four simple steps.

1

Find your parish directory

Search for your local parish directory at parishlocal.com.au, or use the QR code or link shared by the parish directly.

2

Submit your listing

Fill in your business details and choose your listing tier. The majority of your annual fee goes to the parish — your advertising becomes meaningful, recurring community giving.

3

Parish review and payment

The parish reviews your application. Once approved, ParishLocal sends you a payment link to complete your listing. Your listing goes live within 1 business day of payment.

4

Renew each year

You will receive a renewal reminder before your listing expires each year. No action is needed unless you wish to cancel or change your tier.
