Giving strength to the voice of our First People
NCCA is committed to the churches working together for justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and for the healing of our peoples.

We support First Peoples through affirmation of the Statement from the Heart and focused indigenous ecumenical advocacy.
