Caritas Australia (Sydney)

The international aid and development agency of the Catholic Church in Australia, Caritas Australia puts compassion into action.

For over 60 years, Caritas Australia has been walking alongside the world’s most vulnerable, working with communities to help them achieve their development goals and build a better future for all. By listening to locals and working together, we create lasting change.

When crisis hits, Caritas Australia works through the international Caritas network and trusted partners on the ground to provide emergency relief, including food, clean water, shelter, hygiene supplies and cash assistance, while supporting communities to recover and rebuild for the longer term.

Today, Caritas Australia serves in 31 countries, directly supporting more than 1.85 million people and impacting more than 3.9 million people through local community partners, to bring hope, support and compassion to the world’s most vulnerable.

Caritas seeks to engage all Australians, especially the Catholic community, to advocate and act for equality and justice for all.

This organisation is a service of the Archdiocese of Sydney.
