About

The Australian Catholic Communications Congress is a triennial event bringing together Catholics seeking to learn new media and communications skills, network with each other and grow in their understanding of the Good News.

The event was last staged in 2018 in Brisbane, as the pandemic made it challenging to hold a Congress. The theme for the 2024 Congress is “Missionary Message for the Modern World”, reflecting the great urgency in taking the Gospel to everyone and the changing nature of the world around us. The Congress is open to everyone communicating God’s message of hope, faith and love across Catholic media and communication channels.

Organisers

The Congress is jointly organised by the Media and Communications Department of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, the Australian Catholic Media Council and the Australian Catholic Press Association.
