How We Work

The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The safeguarding of children and vulnerable people continues to be an ongoing and vital discussion across Australian society. This report draws on data from National Church Life Surveys to paint and picture of safeguarding policies, practices and related attitudes in churches and how they have changed.
