Social Justice Statement 2025-2026

‘Signs of Hope on the Edge: Serving Homeless People with Mental Ill-Health’

The Catholic Office for Justice, Ecology and Peace will launch their new Statement on Wednesday 13 August 2025.

The Statement highlights the crisis faced by Australian residents in housing and mental health. It emphasizes the need for support and encourages Christians to join in serving those on the edge of society.

Since the 1940s, Australia’s Catholic bishops have released an annual statement examining a key national social issue. While there have been many government and NGO reports, reviews and inquiries into the connected issues of homelessness and mental health, this year’s statement is aimed at starting a community conversation about “noticing with love”.

Please note the statement and resources such as prayers, the audio version of the statement and a video message will be posted to the socialjustice.catholic.org.au website once launched.
