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 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Development Fund (ATSIDF)

Applications are invited for the third round of funding from the ATSIDF.

Funding human development is a tangible expression of the Churches’ support for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Peoples to develop their communities and their participation in the wider Australian and international communities.

NCCA’s ATSIDF is a tax deductible fund set up to assist Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Peoples by giving small, usually one-off grants for community development projects. The projects are funded through the NATSIEC annual Martung Upah Appeal.

Applications close: Monday 24 March 2025

Fund Guidelines and the application form can be found on our ATSIDF website page .

The World Council of Churches (WCC) have released their Indigenous Spiritualities, Land Rights, and Climate Justice report, March 2025.

Edited by Lori Ransom, WCC indigenous peoples consultant, the report serves as a platform for the clear, urgent, and much-needed voices of Indigenous peoples to expose the climate catastrophe through which we are living.
