National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council

Every day, in Parishes, schools, organisations and ministries around Australia there are people working with and alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics to make a significant difference. They don’t ask for accolades or want to be in the spotlight, but these people need to be acknowledged for all they do.

 

The NATSICC Community Services awards want to celebrate the contributions of the unheralded and we need your help to do so! If you know of someone that has lived out the gospel values in their lives and in their work, please consider nominating them.

 

The winner of each category will be presented with an award at their local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday Celebrations. Their story will act as inspiration for the Catholic Community and will be shared across various platforms including Catholic Media, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander media and the NATSICC website and newsletters.

 

Only 5 awards will be given out each year.
