The CSSA National Conference 2025: Hope in Action – brought together leaders, academics, and advocates from across the Catholic social services network for two days of meaningful dialogue, reflection, and collaboration. Held in Sydney from 19–20 March, the conference provided a space to explore how we can continue to bring hope to life in our communities, inspired by the call to be Pilgrims of Hope in this Jubilee year.
Across keynote addresses, panel conversations, and shared moments of connection, delegates were reminded of the powerful impact of collective action rooted in compassion, dignity, and justice. From deep discussions on social policy and governance to inspiring stories from the frontline, the conference fostered a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity. We invite you to revisit some of the highlights and memorable moments from the conference in our Photo Gallery.
