The network was formed in 2017 following a recommendation of the National Heads of Churches and is warmly supported by the National Council of Churches in Australia. The conference is held biennially and provides a forum for collaboration, the sharing of best practice, and a coordinated voice on matters of regulatory and operational significance to the sector.
