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.

Make the choice to buy better chocolate this Easter.

A better chocolate is better for people and the planet! It’s free of child labour, provides a living income for cocoa farmers, empowers women, and cares for the environment.

Australians spend billions of dollars on chocolate. Much of the chocolate consumed will be produced using cocoa beans picked by children and adults in conditions that are often unsafe and restrict a child’s access to education.

Chocolate comes under the supply chain spotlight

Every Lent ACRATH (Australian Catholic Religious against Trafficking in Humans) encourages people to reconsider their chocolate choices and buy products certified slavery-free. March 5, Ash Wednesday, marked the beginning of ACRATH’s Easter chocolate awareness campaign.

ACRATH’s free resources can be found here – if you are planning to promote slavery-free chocolate in your church community, workplace or home.
