Bishop Reid was baptised in the Anglican Church of Canada, but he was ordained an Anglican priest and an Anglican bishop in the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada (a small group which separated from the Anglican Church of Canada in the late 1970s).

And how much has the Australian Bishop's Conference done to help the Ordinariate?

Yes, it should be financially independent but a little help in other ways could have been of great assistance.

Have they been given their own "principal church", (there are plenty of "redundant" ones) help in getting established, support for their seminarians?

It was an uphill battle to get the slightest bit of help from the Bishops of England and Wales when the Ordinariate of OLW was established in Great Britain. They finally were given a mainly unused church for their principal church.
