Caritas Australia is the international aid and development agency of the Catholic Church in Australia, working in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific and in First Australian communities.

What does Caritas Australia do in Australia?

As the international aid and development agency of the Australian Catholic Church, we are driven by social justice and the dignity of every person. We work with local communities in Australia and overseas, listening to concerns, assessing needs and working with partners on locally-led development programs.

How many countries does Caritas Australia help?

Today we serve in 18 countries, working with over 50 local partners in communities to bring hope, support and compassion to the world's most vulnerable people. As part of our mandate, we also seek to engage all Australians, especially the Catholic community, to advocate and act for equality and justice for all.
