Australian Catholic Bishops Conference

The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) is the national assembly of Catholic bishops in Australia, responsible for coordinating the activities of the Catholic Church in the country. Established in 1966, it addresses various social, moral, and pastoral issues affecting Australians, promotes the Church's teachings, and supports the spiritual and moral guidance of the Catholic community. The ACBC engages in discussions on topics like education, social justice, and religious freedom and works to ensure the Church's voice is heard in public life. It plays a crucial role in fostering unity and collaboration among the bishops and their dioceses.
