The Catholic Institute of Western Australia was born out of the vision of WA’s bishops, who saw the urgent need for a centre of theological and pastoral excellence that could support the burgeoning Catholic education sector.

Catholic Institute Western Australia Managing Director, Dr John Topliss said students wanting to advance their education or religious education degrees to a Masters can now incorporate Catholic social teaching, and the role of God and integral ecology, into their studies – and indeed, into their future careers as a result.

The collaboration aims to enhance Catholic education in Western Australia by leveraging the strengths of both institutions in providing Catholic-based education and formation.
