NATSICC meets with the Bishops Committee for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People twice per year. these meetings occur in Sydney and coincide with the Bishops Conference meetings. Bishop Saunders of Broome is the Chairman of the Committee, Bishop Heenan of Rockhampton is Secretary. Bishop Prowse of Melbourne was appointed in 2003 replacing Bishop Hilton Deakin.

2002 saw the birth of our shared 'Spirituality Days'. These days are scheduled before the official meeting and allow NATSICC and the Bishops Committee to share a deeper relationship that extends beyond the formal 'business' aspect.

The Bishops have visited the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry's at La Perouse and Penrith. Both groups were wonderful hosts and the days have been enjoyed by all involved. It is hoped that this concept will continue to grow in the future.

Most recently the Bishops and NATSICC held an Ecumenical service at 'The Block' in Redfern. Attended by many locals and other denominations, the healing service was seen as timely, with recent events in mind.
