37th Australian National Prayer Breakfast

Monday, 26 October 2026 | 7:15am

The Great Hall of Parliament House, Canberra

This October, Christians from every corner of the country will unite in a powerful national expression of faith, hope and prayer at the Australian National Prayer Breakfast.

Christians from across Australia are being invited to gather for prayer and reflection at the 37th Australian National Prayer Breakfast, to be held on Monday, 26 October 2026 in The Great Hall of Parliament House, Canberra.

Hosted by Mr David Smith MP and Mr Henry Pike MP, the National Prayer Breakfast has become one of Australia’s most enduring expressions of public faith, bringing together leaders and communities from across political, cultural and denominational lines to pray for the nation and its future.

The program combines a generous breakfast with contributions from parliamentarians, community leaders and students. Guests can look forward to reflections from elected representatives, a keynote address, community-led prayers and special guest performances, all designed to move the gathering from conversation into a shared act of prayer for Australia’s leaders and communities.

This year’s keynote speaker is Amy Brown, a Christian leader with extensive experience in public service. Drawing on her leadership journey and personal challenges, Amy will speak on the theme The Way Down is the Way Up, exploring the Christian conviction that God often forms us most deeply through seasons of difficulty and dependence on him.

Registration is required and places are released ahead of the annual Breakfast. Speaker details, registration dates and stories from previous gatherings will be released in the months ahead.
