Pax Christi Australia is hosting a webinar on Sunday 18th April, 2pm-3:30pm featuring Pope Francis’ recent encyclical Fratelli Tutti. Titled "A Moment to Dream: Pope Francis' Pathway to a Better Future", the gathering is an opportunity for members of parishes, and the wider community, to participate in a conversation on Fratelli Tutti's vision of a world at peace.

Catholic Social Services Victoria is eager to promote job opportunities on offer within the sector. Each month we gather and highlight a number of job, board (or other) vacancies that we encourage you to spread among your networks. We hope this 'Job List' will become a valuable resource among our network. Please email us with any future job vacancies so that we can help share and promote this. Here's the list for March 2021!

Catholic Social Services Victoria joins with many of its member organisations and Homelessness Australia in asking the Treasurer, Josh Frydenburg, to refund Equal Remuneration Order (ERO) supplementation (read joint letter here). Homelessness, domestic violence and a range of other services will have to cut the support they provide to people in need unless the Federal Government commits to continuing equal pay funding that it has extended for other community services.

Addressing the impact of mental ill health and its onflow effects cuts across the heart of much of the work of Catholic Social Services Victoria and our member organisations. CSSV welcomes the final report of the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System, which was tabled in Parliament by the Victorian Government on 2nd March 2021. CSSV, our members and wider Church community are committed to engaging with the report and in seeing the reforms constructively implemented so as to benefit all Victorians.
