Pentecostalism in Australia was an import from the U.S., although John Alexander Dowie conducted healing missions in Australia in the 1880s before becoming a factor in the USA. Women played a significant founding role. The Good News Hall, founded by an ex-Methodist, Janet Lancaster, in North Melbourne in 1909, was the first organised pentecostal church in Australia. Aimée Semple McPherson tour in 1922 led to the formation of the Pentecostal Church, the forerunner of the [[Assemblies of God]], which now claim approximately half of Australia's pentecostals. The visit of the American evangelist Oral Roberts in 1956 spurred public controversy but paved the way for the more recent explosion of pentecostal churches, especially in Queensland and Western Australia.<ref> See Barry Chant, ''Heart of Fire: The Story of Australian Pentecostalism'' (1973)</ref>
