Welcome to the Sydney Catholic Business Network

The Sydney Catholic Business Network is an initiative of the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. It is a great opportunity for business, community, government and Catholic leaders to meet on a regular basis and discuss matters of mutual concern, and to work together on contemporary issues. 

The purpose of our network is to form ethical professionals, responsible leaders and social influencers in our community.

Over the years, we have been fortunate to hear incisive ideas, and learn of the challenging issues of the day, which consequently move people to make a difference in their professional environment and personal lives.

Such topics explored have included the preservation of democracy, domestic violence, business ethics, religious liberty, Christian persecution and many more.

The success of these events could not be achieved without our loyal members and sponsors.

There are four luncheons each year. Membership is open to all who share our Christian values.

We hope you consider becoming part of our unique community and we look forward to welcoming you soon.

For further information, including membership or sponsorship enquiries, please phone 1800 753 959, or email businessnetwork@sydneycatholic.org.

      Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Coordination, ACU

      "The Business Network is another way in which we can build on the social capital of our society through the interaction among a diverse range of people, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, good people with Christian values who are supportive of our work and interested in a dialogue." 

      Catherine Harris AO

      Chair, Harris Farm Markets

      “The first two business network events have been extraordinary, I never realised how interesting, influential and diverse the Sydney Catholic Business Network is, I’ll definitely go again!”

      The Hon. Michael Egan FAICD

      Chancellor, Macquarie University, Chairman, Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd, Chairman, Australian Fisheries Management Commission, Chairman, Centenary Institute of Cancer Medicine

      “The Sydney Catholic Business Network is a terrific opportunity for likeminded people from many different backgrounds to get together and discuss the issues that will shape Australia’s future. It is a great initiative and I look forward to participating in it.”

      Dr Marie Leech

      Principal, Sancta Sophia College (within the University of Sydney)

      “The Sydney business community can be ‘sliced’ in a range of ways – but what better way than the Catholic ‘slice’, uniting and connecting as it does those with such aligned values but also providing the potential for a force for profound and significant impact on the business community in general.”

      Jacques van Schalkwyk

      CEO, Celeste Catering

      Fantastic event. Deeply touched by speakers stories. Very moving.

      Doug Sutherland

      Chartered Accountant, Sutherland & Co (Former Lord Mayor of Sydney)

      “Such a venture should be very fulfilling to all those who choose to join because of an assured empathy, and the communion will afford mutual benefit. The consequent associations will, I am sure, enhance the fundamental beliefs and moral standards of all.”

      Tim Fischer AC

      Former Ambassador to the Holy See

      “Very good purposeful lunches with knowledge shared and the bonus, running to time.”

      Karl Morris
