Some of the issues currently receiving discussion include:

Reconciliation.
Sharing Leadership Responsibility With Lay People.
The concept of how we can best be church in Australia, and formulating a common agenda for action.
Processes for the inculturation and support of priests from overseas.
Personal assessment and supervision in ministry.
Professional Standards matters.
Further developing and strengthening good relationships with the growing numbers of permanent deacons, through a reciprocal arrangement between the NCP and the Australian Catholic Deacons Association.
Developing a history of the NCP from Archival material, much of it donated by Fr Les Cashen

The ongoing nature of the development of these issues lends them to being better reported upon in the Members Bulletin.
