Catholic Social Services Australia Conference 2025

CSSA National Conference in Sydney, set for 19-20 March 2025. This is our flagship event, and we warmly invite you to mark your diaries and join us at Commonwealth Bank Australia’s venue at 11 Harbour Street, Sydney. We extend our sincere thanks to the Commonwealth Bank for their generous support.

The Conference theme, “Hope in Action” is inspired by the Jubilee 2025 Pilgrims of Hope, embodying our shared commitment to making a difference in our communities.

There are three complementary themes:

1. Adequate funding for social services
2. Living standards and fiscal fairness
3. End Child Poverty

The Conference will feature the highly anticipated launch of a research report about providing a true cost for social services by Prof. David Gilchrist and the team at UWA Centre for Public Value, spotlighting six impactful case studies from CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes, CatholicCare Victoria, Centacare Brisbane, Centacare Catholic Family Services Adelaide, Centacare Family Services Geraldton, and CatholicCare NT.

With an impressive line-up of speakers and engaging discussions planned, this event promises to be a highlight for our network.
