In April, 2005 the Australian Bishops' Committee for Family and for Life made a recommendation to the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference that the Bishops promote the establishment of Family Councils (in each diocese). The primary focus of each Family Council would be to foster the gifts of families for the evangelizing mission of the Church. The family.life.council was established in the diocese of Townsville by Bishop Michael Putney to support family life in every way it can.
