What is WATAC?
WATAC began in 1984 as a nationwide initiative by Australia’s religious women and men. While our roots are Catholic, our community is open to people of all Christian traditions and other faiths. We’re passionate about fostering collaboration, dialogue, and understanding across churches and faiths.
Be part of a supportive, inclusive community working together to create a more connected and compassionate world!
