Interfaith leaders from across Australia gathered at Admiralty House at the invitation of the Governor-General to discuss ways to strengthen social cohesion and promote harmony within the broader community. The meeting brought together representatives from diverse faith traditions to engage in open dialogue, share perspectives, and explore collaborative initiatives that encourage mutual understanding and respect. The discussion highlighted the important role that faith communities play in fostering unity, addressing social challenges, and contributing positively to Australia’s multicultural society.

Condemning the Bondi Terror Attack

Faith leaders came together at NSW Parliament House to stand united in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, just one day after the horrific events of December 14.

Representing diverse communities and beliefs, we issued a joint statement condemning violence in all its forms and reaffirming our shared commitment to peace, compassion, and solidarity.

In moments of tragedy, unity matters more than ever. Together, we stand against hate and work towards healing, resilience, and a safer future for all.
