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!

I believe we are walking together toward a more inclusive and inspiring Church, one where every voice—especially women's—is heard and valued. With hope and unity, we can help shape a Church that truly reflects equality and shared dignity.

I stand in hope and solidarity with women of faith, trusting that together we can create a Church where equal roles are embraced. By learning, contributing, and supporting one another, we are building a future that welcomes and uplifts all.
