The National Secular Lobby combines the building of grassroots awareness and action with the direct lobbying of parliamentarians by high profile ambassadors. It has made submissions to various parliamentary inquiries, including the Religious Freedom Review[2] (2018), the 2021 Census Topic Review[3] (2018), and the Parliamentary Prayers Inquiry[4] (2018).
In 2023, the National Secular Lobby was one of the groups (along with the NSW Teachers Federation, Rationalist Society of Australia and Humanists Victoria) who co-organised and co-sponsored the inaugural Secularism Australia Conference.[5]
