From 1965 to 1968 he was Dean of Trinity College, Melbourne. As a professed member of the Brotherhood of the Good Shepherd, Mason was known as "Brother Aiden" until his consecration as a bishop. On 24 February 1968, at St John's Cathedral (Brisbane),[4] he was consecrated to the episcopate to serve as the Bishop of the Northern Territory,[5] a position he held until 1983. From 1983 to 1993 Mason was chairman of the Australian Board of Missions (now called the Anglican Board of Mission - Australia).
In retirement, Mason regularly attended St James' Church, Sydney, where a Requiem Eucharist was held for him on 19 January 2019.[6]
