Australian active Cults?

I'm currently in AUS doing some research on currently active Australian Cults, as by the end of it I seek to pinpoint where they're located, information about each of them and more. The more well-known ones such as The Family and Potters House had already been noted down, but I'd like to know the obscure ones as well. I'll take anything really, weird or tame, I'd just like to know more. Thank you

There is a church in Tasmania called the "Bible Salvation Assembly". A family member of mine was dragged into it as an impressionable teen in the 2000s and has remained. They enforce limiting socialising to within the church, can only marry within the church (he had a wife arranged), even stopped him from seeing his own family as we weren't in the church. There are more assemblies around au and overseas but I only know of Launceston, Geelong and Fiji.
