Strengthening Families and Communities in a Post Christian Society

Publica is a Christian research and public policy organisation devoted to partnering with Churches and organisations to strengthen family and community relationships throughout Australia.

"Christians in the public square are so often known for what we are against...we have a positive message, a message of love and care for the whole community, and that's not being heard in Australia very well."

Prof Patrick Parkinson AM

Executive Director, Publica
