2024 CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES CONFERENCE

We might not be able to attend this conference in Melbourne next month, but in the blurb publicising the event Bishop Vincent Long made some pertinent points. He said, “It is in the interest of our health and our future to ensure that everyone’s wellbeing is safeguarded. It is also in the interest of a better society and a better world that the human and social infrastructure of the “care economy” be prioritised more than profit and success. Addressing inequity and caring for the poor and vulnerable are not optional extras. We are only as strong as our weakest links.”
