Reference Groups

One of NATSICC's functions is to inform the wider Church community and organisations of Indigenous issues and points of view. In order to do this NATSICC is directly involved with several groups.

These groups have specific areas of focus which allows all concerned to share information and benefit from each others skills, knowledge and resources.

Ncca

National Council of Churches in Australia

The NCCA is 17 Christian Churches, gathered from across this wide brown land, who have embarked on a pilgrimage together.

We each bring a widely varied history of place, experience, and theology, but we share a common faith and confession in the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour. We also share a common future as we are convinced that the future of Christians in Australia lies together, not in separation.

The pages of this website describe who we are, what we do, and what the member Churches, through the NCCA, bring to the ongoing dialogue of Australian Christianity.

Nungalinya

Nungalinya College

Nungalinya is a college for Indigenous Australians. We offer courses for adults who want to learn about God, or about how to help their families and communities.

The College is situated in Casuarina, a northern suburb of Darwin, Australia's gateway city of the North.

Caritas
