Australia’s religious congregations have a strong commitment to social justice. Through their social justice ministries they work with refugees and asylum seekers, indigenous Australians, people who have been trafficked, people with mental illness, homeless people, prisoners and young offenders, victims of domestic violence and with many other groups on the margins of society.

The CRA Justice Network includes members of congregations and their colleagues and associates working with them in their ministries and facilities. It networks with various groups, organisations and associations within Church and the wider community that are seeking and working for social justice.

The CRA Justice Network provides a structure:

• to enable a unified and effective response to social injustice in Australia
• to strategically influence public and social policy and bring about justice, equity and ecological sustainability.
