The Australian Protestant Federation (APF) was founded as the Victorian Protestant Federation (VPF). The Victorian Protestant Federation was active during and after World War I. Its aims were the protection of the principles of the liberty of conscience, freedom of worship and a Protestant revival; its targets were the Catholic Church and Archbiship Mannix, who opposed the war and conscription.
