From 27 Feb to 1 March 2026, elected delegates representing Communist Party organisations from all over Australia will gather in Melbourne for the 15th National Congress of the Party. There will be an opening on the Friday night, 27 February, to which all Guardian readers, their families and friends are invited. (Details will be provided in a future issue of the Guardian.)
Over three days, delegates will discuss the work of the Party, make any amendments to and adopt a Political Resolution. In the lead-up to the Congress, Party members are discussing and submitting amendments to the draft Political Resolution. In January 2026 the Central Committee will consider these amendments and finalise the draft to be put to Congress.
Congress will elect a new Central Committee to lead the work of the Party until the next National Congress. As the highest body of the Party, it can also amend the Party’s Program and Constitution and adopt other resolutions as its delegates may determine.
The CPA has launched a Special Appeal to help defray the costs associated with holding a National Congress. These are considerable with delegates coming from as far away as Perth, the printing of documents, etc.
We are appealing to Party members and organisations and all friends and supporters of the Party and Guardian readers to help fulfil our $10,000 target as soon as possible.
To contribute, please fill in the form below or write your details on a separate piece of paper to send with your contribution. Payment by credit card can also be phoned in on 02 9699 8844 or use the direct credit details.
All contributions will be acknowledged in the Guardian, with the names of contributors unless otherwise requested. We look forward to your support for this important occasion. J
