Across Australia, many of our sisters and brothers are burdened by the rising cost of life’s necessities. For some, this means skipping meals, delaying medical care, or living without secure housing. These are not just economic statistics, but human stories of struggle and resilience. As disciples of Jesus, we cannot turn away from these realities. The Gospel calls us to see Christ in those who suffer and to walk alongside them with compassion.
This Social Justice Statement, released by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference in February 2026, seeks to name the reality of hardship being experienced in households and communities across the country.
