The ACMRO team is pleased to announce that registrations for the 8th ACMRO National Conference 2026 are now open. The conference, themed “Migrant Communities in a Synodal Church”, will acknowledge and celebrate the faith, gifts, contributions, and resilience of migrant communities, as well as the richness they bring to the Church in Australia and wider society. It will also give particular attention to the dynamic role of migrant communities within a synodal Church.

The keynote speakers for the conference are Cardinal Fabio Baggio, C.S., Under-Secretary of the Dicastery for Integral Human Development, and Dr Trudy Dantis, Director of the National Centre for Pastoral Research at the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference.

Canberra and Goulburn Archbishop Christopher Prowse, Chair of the Bishops Commission for Evangelisation, Laity and Ministry, will be leading the panel discussion, and Bunbury Bishop George Kolodziej, S.D.S. will address the participants during the conference dinner.

The conference will run from 25–26 August at Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney, NSW. It is open to everyone and will provide delegates with the opportunity to receive formation on the following three sub-themes:

• Fostering a Culture of Encounter (Encounter)
