Our commitment to working alongside local partners and communities enables us to reach millions of people across the world every year. This remarkable work is possible thanks to generous donations from supporters like you.

With you, our partners and communities, we are changing the world for the better every day, to relieve and eliminate poverty.
Where does Oxfam Australia work?

Each donation helps us expand our reach, allowing us to work in diverse environments to deliver immediate aid and long-term solutions.

How does Oxfam Australia work?
Oxfam Australia’s work is firmly rooted in communities. We work with, and centre, the voices and experiences of people most impacted by poverty, inequality and injustice because they understand the issues and solutions. We mobilise funds and resources, share knowledge of how best to achieve local and systemic change, and support local capabilities. We work with allies and supporters to challenge powerful decision-makers to transform the systems and practices that perpetuate inequality. Our advocacy is grounded in the priorities of partners and communities and seeks to amplify the voices of people experiencing the injustice of poverty.
Oxfam Australia strives to:
– Save lives before, during and after humanitarian crises, where every donation helps us provide immediate and effective responses.
– Work locally with communities to foster development and influence policies aimed at reducing poverty. Your donations mean we can support these communities more robustly.
– Influence governments, institutions and businesses to adopt fair laws and practices that lift people out of poverty. Donations are crucial in amplifying our voice and impact.
Our ability to run humanitarian appeals and mobilise Australians for positive change relies heavily on the generosity of the public, and each donation contributes to the success of our campaigns.
Thanks to the diverse and committed support of our donors, volunteers, and program partners, we can implement innovative and practical solutions to combat poverty. Our partnerships with local organisations are vital, allowing us to deliver programs that not only save lives but also tackle the root causes of poverty and injustice.
Your donations are the backbone of our operations, supporting our efforts at all levels and ensuring that we can continue to make a significant difference in the lives of millions of people every day.
